Conveniently located in the west end of the Old Town just below the castle, this archetypal Edinburgh apartment, sleeping 5 people, is in easy walking distance of the Royal Mile and Princes Street. It is on the doorstep of the Lyceum Theatre, and the Usher Hall and within close proximity of a wealth of different bars and restaurants. It is also easily accessible from the Edinburgh business quarter and the International Conference Centre.

The apartment is located on the first floor of this attractive Victorian building. The spacious interior with loads of period charm offers a very generously proportioned drawing room with original marble fireplace and fine cornice work. It is furnished with comfortable banquette leather seating arranged around the fireplace. Floor to ceiling book cases on one wall contain plenty of interesting books for guests and there is a TV with BT Vision and VCR with an interesting selection of videos. Internet access is available in the apartment for the use of guests.

An airy dining kitchen overlooks pretty gardens to the rear of the building. The dining area has a table providing comfortable seating for 6 people should you wish to eat in.

The well equipped modern kitchen with oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher, large fridge freezer and ample cupboard and drawer space is generously supplied with plenty of glass, crockery, cutlery and cookware.

This is a beautiful, historic property that is superbly located with a breathtaking view of Edinburgh Castle outside the front door. We walked everywhere from here with easy access to groceries, cafes, bakeries, the weekly farmers market, and Usher Hall. It was clean, and well appointed; communication regarding the unit was prompt and helpful. Highly recommend!

There was nothing about this flat that I didn’t love. It was clean, quiet and convenient. Had everything we needed. I hated to leave! Loved the drying rack in the kitchen. I would 100 percent stay here again with great pleasure.

As a family, we stayed 8 nights and just loved this location and property. It was an excellent home away from home, with a great kitchen, laundry options, plenty of space for downtime, two showers and a superb location for seeing Edinburgh. We were able to walk to the Royal Mile, Edinburgh train station, the castle, University of Edinburgh and lots of other locations very easily.

We loved it. My husband, my adult son, and I could not have been happier with the location, the openness and size of the Flat (tons of closet space), and thrilled to have a washer/dryer. We walked and walked this magnificent City. There is no need to bring anything but sneakers, and be prepared for hills and many steps. Uber's were great, but we preferred to walk and walk. Our hosts were great, responding before the trip with any questions and even providing local bars to watch football or rugby, which we did. Food was excellent everywhere. Being in the old town right below the castle was incredible. Walk out each day, and there it was. I plan to come back and rent the same Flat with a girlfriend. Excellent, Excellent, Excellent

This lovely apartment is everything that is described in the write up. Location, spacious, clean, beautiful and comfortable. Communication was great, any questions answered right away. We are four busy adults who easily walked everywhere, even to store our luggage at a hostel and walk to a Hairy Coo bus tour, that’s how convenient the location is. You can see the castle from the front steps, market with delicious food is every Saturday, just steps from the front door. My only other comment is that washer dryer combo is a frustrating piece of machinery, so plan to wash clothes and hang to dry. Don’t hesitate-book it.

My brother and I stayed here and were just blown away by how easy the check in process was (we stayed in London beforehand and it was not seamless at all). The property was very conveniently located by the castle, the Royal mile, places to eat, cafes, etc. the apartment was beautiful and so spacious, the owner was very communicative leading up to check in. They answered any and all questions and it was overall a fantastic experience. If and when I come to Edinburgh again, I hope that this apartment is available to book because I 10/10 will book it again!

The location is amazing and the space is fantastic. Big kitchen and living room. We were all very comfortable. We walked to everything in town. Wi-Fi was good, but a weak signal if you were outside the kitchen, which was sometimes annoying. We used the washer a lot and loved the kitchen rack for drying clothes. The bathrooms were nice sizes with a big tube that came in handy with kids. It was quiet and safe. We loved all that Edinburgh had to offer and walked to the castle for visit and then the Military Tatoo. Also walked to Arthur’s Seat, the Dome, Underground Tour and Fringe entertainment.

What a spacious and well-appointed property! We were delighted with our accommodations in Edinburgh. It was a treat to be practically in the shadow of the Castle for our stay in Scotland’s capital city! Beds were comfortable, showers had nice pressure and the lounge was spacious. I would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay, easy to find and should a Monarch pass when you’re in town, the procession viewing is convenient. This place was spacious, quiet and clean. Good details on the operating book, too. Highly recommended

Lovely apartment with 5 minute walk to the Royal Mile

Very comfortable Edinburgh apartment with lots of vintage charm. LOVED the location, right next to the castle and a short walk to the Royal Mile. Getting in the front door was our only problem, the multiple locks and keys were confusing but once we figured it out we had no further issues. I must say the beds were very comfortable (although a few extra blankets would have been nice)! Overall a great stay, would definitely stay here again.

This flat was well stocked, and was larger than I expected. Yes the location is a little bit of a walk to the center of the city, but it was really not a problem at all except when I was fully loaded with luggage. Quiet in the evenings. Wish I had booked for longer.

Quiet flat just blocks from Grassmarket and easy access to New Town. Would be great for a family as the second bedroom has three single beds.
