Sitting within one of Edinburgh's many Georgian buildings, this loft apartment doesn't have the period features you might expect from the handsome exterior, but it's still easy on the eye nevertheless. Ideally, it could do with another bathroom, but that's nitpicking really. One thing we especially like is that the neighbourhood is a little more residential than the touristy centre, but you're still within walking distance of many of the city's attractions – the castle and old town are both around half an hour's walk, for instance. Home truths: *Your host can provide a travel cot for free upon request, but guests need to bring their own linen *There's private parking available for guests *The apartment is spread across two floors with no bedrooms on the entry-level and there's no lift in the building *Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
