When you’ve had your fill of exploring the closes and cobbled streets, sit back and relax in the generous, contemporary sitting room, decorated in the latest chic colour palette, and take full advantage of the huge flat-screen Smart TV and complimentary WiFi.
You’ll find everything you need for your self-catering holiday in the roomy, traditional kitchen, including a large oven and hob, along with a solid wooden dining table that seats four guests.

The apartment was lovely, conveniently located, and the host met us immediately upon arrival. The walkup was as described, so there were no surprises. Having a washer and dryer was an additional amenity that came in handy. The grocery below also was very convenient. I would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I came to visit our daughter who is getting her masters and Uni of Edinburgh but she wanted to stay with us while in town. This flat is very spacious and beautiful. It was very clean and had all the amenities needed to spend a week there. The location is fantastic and close to all. There are plenty of pubs, coffee shops and restaurants nearby too. Loved staying here. It was great to come back in the middle of the day to rest and relax and look out from the gorgeous big windows. Fantastic time in Edinburgh and this place was one of the reasons why.

We had a great stay at this property. The communication from Tony was excellent and we were able to access the property a bit early on arrival which we really appreciated. The property is as it appears in the photos and is well equipped and spacious. It is situated in a great location in the Old Town and whilst the local area is busy it felt perfectly safe. There are plenty of food options and supermarkets available locally. Everything else you need is within walking distance as are many of the attractions and locations of interest. A real gem of a property and one we would definitely recommend.

This is a beautiful apartment in an excellent location. Everything you need and spotless. It is up 2 flights of stairs if that an issue. Also there is a bar next door and people hang out but seemed to stop fairly early.
It all looks newly remodeled and it is just so pretty. We loved it
