About this apartment rental

Fabulous 2 bedroom apartment, completely renovated, in the very best location beside Edinburgh Castle. Views onto Royal Mile. Every modern convenience. Designer fabrics, wallpapers, free wifi, internet tv, underfloor heating. Extremely comfortable. Quiet Bedrooms, Double glazing.

Situated in the historic Old Town of Edinburgh, this is the best place to stay in the city. The Old Town is a World Heritage site. Steeped in history, packed with museums, visitor attractions, specialty shops, restaurants and pubs. Edinburgh castle is 1 minute walk from your front door. This area of the city has a real buzz and is a joy to explore. This apartment is however in a peaceful location late at night with no nightclubs or noisy pubs. This a great place to stay anytime but a prime location during the Edinburgh Festival/Fringe or at New Year.

Wow!! Fabulous location on the Royal Mile in a beautiful apartment. We could walk everywhere and then take in the views from the large windows overlooking the excitement. The unit is extremely comfortable, super clean, and stocked with everything you need for a fabulous stay. Paul provided very detailed directions so that it was easy to locate and settle in. We're a family of five with three older teenagers. All slept comfortably and because of the wonderful location, we could venture out together or separately (I loved a morning walk for coffee before the Royal Mile got busy.) and others could stay back for a bit when they needed a break. It was perfect. Thank you Paul!

This flat is RIGHT next to the Castle, with windows overlooking the Royal Mile. We could hear bagpipes in the kitchen window, setting the tone. The flat is nicely decorated and appointed. Although we were 6, it would be more comfortable for 4 since we had to move the table in order to use the sofa bed. Check in was easy, everything was provided as needed. We recommend it.

We spent a week with 6 people and it was a great experience. My son slept on the couch bed, he would have liked a little more padding. The stair were long, yet that area has a lot of stairs/hills to climb, so no issue. We were expecting washer/dryer setup, yet it was only a washer. I read the washer manual and dryer was not part of it. Yet, we manage and air dry our clothes. Beyond that, it was great. Paul was great to work with. It was cold while we were there, so maybe extra blankets would be the one thing I would advise. I still give this place 5 out of 5. I would recommend Sichuan House, Vittoria on the bridge, and Miller & Carter to eat at!

We wanted to stay very close to the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. This was the perfect location. Everything was within walking distance. A little exercise getting up the stairs to the third floor apartment, but the location made it worthwhile. The apartment had everything we needed to enjoy our stay in Edinburgh.

We had a great time at Old Town Edinburgh. The location is a stones throw from the Castle and a short walk from all the major sites. Paul, our host, was terrific to deal with and a wonderful communicator. The apartment was really comfortable and accessible. It's the third floor up a circular stone staircase, but we managed it easily. And the character oof the building and the place is everything you could ever want for. Beds were comfortable and the apartment functioned well for four of us. Highly recommend. Thanks Paul.

What a location, right in the middle of it all. The stairs were challenging with luggage, but all part of the charm and wouldnt change them, except for the hand rail to continue up past the 1st floor. The apartment was larger then I expected, loved all the original stone throughout. The wifi stopped for a night, and Paul was onto it, had it fixed the next day, once we made him aware of it. Beds were super comfy too. A quality apartment overlooking the royal mile, I loved it.

Two couples on a tour of Scotland. We stayed the first three nights in Edinburgh before heading to the islands. Unit was located on the Royal Mile, very clean and very comfortable. Very much enjoyed out stay at the unit. The stairs to access the third floor unit were a bit challenging with luggage, but well worth it in the end. Great location. Close to everything. Would definitely stay there again.

We had four ladies out on a tour of the UK from Colorado. This was our second city and this unit offered a very pleasant stay. We were able to do laundry, sleep peacefully and get most everything in a matter of minutes. This unit sits on the third floor of a building overlooking the western most stretch of the Royal Mile, immediately before it terminates at Edinburgh Castle. BE WARE OF THE STONE SPIRAL STAIRCASE. We had no problems navigating it, but if you stay here, you'll have some tight stairs to have to maneuver your luggage up and down. So plan accordingly! We had no trouble getting to or from the unit from Waverly train station by taxi. We also did not have any trouble with noise from below evenings or mornings. The unit felt very private with the heavy window shades. We did not cook in the unit, but there seemed to be the basics for small meals on hand. The owner, Paul, was away during our stay, but his brother, Chris, was incredibly responsive when we had a very minor glitch with the boiler. The unit was warm and comfortable, and easy to feel at home in.

Well the taxi couldn't get to Lawnmarket so we had to drag our luggage from the lower end of James Court. Then we couldn't find the actual entrance from the back side. So frustration is setting in. Got a hold of the owner and he directed us to the correct wynd. Dragged our luggage up three flights of spiral staircase. Couldn't get the lock box open. Finally managed to get it open. So you probably think we didn't enjoy our stay? Wrong! Great place. Great location. A bit noisy but really convenient. I'd stay here again but with less luggage!

My family and I had a fantastic stay in Edinburgh! It was perfect for our family of four with two teenage daughters. The apartment is located right on the Royal mile and close to everything in old town. It was super close and a quick walk from Edinburgh Waverly train station. Paul was really easy to communicate with and gave us multiple recommendations for restaurants and pubs! We will definitely be back!

Location was on point! Walkable to many restaurants, shops, bars, and other tourist attractions. Paul the property owner was very responsive. I stayed with 3 other adults and a 11 year old and we had plenty of space. There is a steep 3 story spiral stair case to get to the 3rd floor which may be more difficult for older renters, but overall it was a fabulous stay with a great view of Royal Mile.

I've stayed at a lot of VRBO properties and this was one of the best. The host was very responsive to our questions/requests and made check-in and check-out super easy. The property itself its fantastic with stone walls and is basically like a cozy cottage in the middle of the royal mile - so close to everything. I would highly recommend this property for your stay in Edinburgh.

The apartment worked wonderfully for a weekend stay for our family of four. The apartment was clean and well kept. It is in the center of everything in Edinburgh and was within walking distance of everything that we wanted to do. The only thing to be aware of is that it is up 3 flights of a stone spiral staircase.

We could not have asked for a better location for our trip in Scotland! Literally on "the Hub," the best part of the Royal Mile, seconds from the Castle, St. Giles, Grassmarket, and Victoria Street. The unit is clean, modern, and has everything one needs. Wi-fi and clothes- and dish-washing machines are a plus. Great mix of modern and olde Edinburgh feel. Better than described in the listing. Beds are comfortable and plush. For those with limited mobility, be aware the steps up three flights of stairs in ancient stone staircase take some getting used to, but add to the old world charm. Paul was a great host, letting us in early and having lots of great recommendations for local restaurants and pubs. Highly recommended!
