Owner's Profile
Why the Owner Chose Edinburgh
New Town Apartment was chosen for its wonderful Georgian charm and peaceful, yet central location. The apartment is one of tranquility, with twin south facing windows to the front, flooding the whole apartment with light. Cumberland Street - an impressive, upmarket area of the city - is literally 5 minutes walk to Princes Street, making this a perfect base for guests to visit all major attractions on foot. Access the the extensive and private gardens on Queen Street/ Heriot Row ( 2 minutes walk ) are fabulous. They are beautifully kept, and huge area filled with many trees and shrubs. There is a childrens sand pitt - and a pond with little island - this is supposedly the insiration for Robert Louis Stevensons writing of Treasue Island, who used to live at no. 17 Heriot Row, facing these gardens, and used to play here as a boy. Absolutely beautiful and a must for all guests.
