Accommodations: Historic Apartment - 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s) - 1 Bath - (Sleeps 2-4)

The Drawing room - Edinburgh, Scotland Accommodation Our Scotland Street apartment is our fabulous one bedroom property situated in a fantastic position, right in the heart of our wonderful historic city. In fact you couldn't get better - the apartment is located on one of the most sought after streets in the elegant Georgian New Town. Residential and quiet, yet just a few minutes walk (about seven) from the hustle and bustle of Princes Street and George Street and from there easily accessible to the castle and Royal Mile. Moreover, we're just round the corner from the funky Broughton Street area with its great selection of restaurants, cafes and bars as well as some lovely 'local' and quirky shops (the best butcher in town, great health food store and fishmonger to name a few!) The apartment is typical in design for its era, dating back to 1820 (yes, 1820!) and built with the grandeur that represents Georgian architecture in its prime. Interior style is sophisticated, contemporary and calming with a lovely blend of old and new. The main sitting room is a massive 24 x 17 feet with beautiful white marble working fireplace (living flame gas fire) and ornate cornice work which is still painted with its original gilting. The huge sofa converts into a large queen-size sprung sofa bed - not an uncomfortable option for more than two staying! The bedroom is quietly located with cosy queen-size leather bed, sumptuous Osborne and Little wall coverings, some lovely 'bombe' bedside tables - which we picked up in a little shop in Paris and practically carried all the way home!- we had to have them! The bathroom is perfect for a drencher shower first thing in the morning or a relaxing bath (with jet bubbles if required) in the evening with dimable lighting and muted soft gold and amethyst colourings. The kitchen is fully equipped - hob, oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer - and it's styled boldly in gloss red and black granite with chandelier- we like the decadence! We also supply a complete pack in the apartment which will guide you through how to use everything and also a great guide to our favourite restaurants, cafes, shops and top tips on things not to miss out on while you're visiting. We think we've created the ideal retreat to explore our wonderful city- we really hope you'll agree if you come and stay with us!
