About this apartment rental

Location, location, location!

The Robert Louis Stevenson Suite is a luxury apartment with unprecedented views of Edinburgh Castle. Located just 2 minutes from the iconic Princes St on the corner of George St (lots of shopping, bars and restaurants) and North Castle St, the apartment is in the heart of the New Town, making it an ideal base for visiting all the main tourist sites of Edinburgh.

The apartment block was one of the first flats to be built in the New Town by James Craig in 1790 and sits directly adjacent to the Edinburgh town house of Sir Walter Scott! For the sake of clarity, the apartment is located on the first floor of the building and from street level there are approx 20 steps (no elevator as one of the first buildings to be erected in "The new Town" and is a listed building). The steps are more gradual and winding than steep and vertical.

The flat opens into a square reception hall providing access to all rooms. To the front of the flat and with a southerly aspect from its twin windows is a magnificent drawing room featuring a gas fire with iron grate and pretty timber mantle, dado paneling and delicate plaster work. A glazed door provides secondary access from the drawing room into a striking breakfasting kitchen fitted with an attractive range of painted timber units topped with thick granite surfaces and incorporating a full range of integrated appliances, including a recessed range cooker set, oven/grill, and microwave as well as a washing machine and full height fridge/freezer.
The bedrooms comprise a generously proportioned master bedroom with a king size bed and dual aspect views towards Edinburgh Castle. This bedroom features secondary double glazing and also benefits from a luxurious en-suite shower room.
The second bedroom is set up with twin beds (can be pushed together to form a double on request) and is served by an equally well fitted family bathroom off the hall.
Larger parties can enquire about our apartment in the same building - The Walter Scott Suite ( same building below this one on the first floor), has the same high spec and stunning views of Edinburgh Castle. Combined, both properties can accommodate up to 8 / 10 people comfortably. It has the same stunning views of Edinburgh Castle and can be made available by special request.

An excellent property situated right in the heart of Edinburgh and close to all forms of public transport. Very well appointed, spacious and comfortable appartment. Should mention two maintenance requirements. There is a small leak coming from the boiler which drips onto the the sink work surface. Also two of the curtains in the master bedroom are coming adrift from the rail and need re-attaching. An excellent stay and would certainly use again. Should mention two

This property was perfect. The washer and dryer was small and did take a long time but it was much appreciated after traveling for a week. The location was perfect you could see Edinburgh castle right outside the window. We would definitely stay here again. At night you could hear passerbyers talking but it wasn’t too bad, my husband and I didn’t have any issues sleeping,

The location of this historic property could not have been any more central to the major visitor destinations in Edinburgh. The spacious flat was a great fit for our family of four (two adults and two older teenagers).

Really great property. Tons of space, character, charm and amenities. Location was ideal. We were only here for two nights but my family wished we could have stayed longer and chilled here more. Would stay here again.

Morris was very accommodating to our requests and we had great communication. Apartment was lovely and had all of the necessities needed. We can't thank you enough for making me and my son's stay amazing. Thank you Morris for a lovely stay!

Great location, great property, and excellent host. We've stayed at many rental properties hosted on multiple vendors sites over many years, and this ranks as one of the best.
