Exterior
The apartment is just 5 minutes walk from Princes Street, The Usher Hall, iconic concert hall and Fringe venue. The neighbourhood is one of the most sought after, being within minutes from The Royal Mile. With great eateries and local markets this area is bursting with great food and local shops.
Local Area
Castle Terrace is ideally located a walking distance away from the shopping of Princes Street, the restaurants of George Street, the ambience of Grassmarket and buzz of the Royal Mile. Each of the main areas of Edinburgh ensure that you will never find yourself without entertainment, food or a good drink in many of the venues just minutes away from the front door.
For the fine diners, the Michelin starred restaurant, aptly named Castle Terrace, is just a few doors away. And for those seeking for more old style atmosphere, any of the pubs on the Royal Mile or Grassmarket offer fantastic, home made classics from fish and chips to steak and ale pie. We highly recommend the World's End on Royal Mile and the Fiddler's Arms on Grassmarket.
Just around the corner starts the stretch of Lothian Road, offering a number of cafes, breakfast places and pubs. Along the Lothian is also the Filmhouse - an alternative cinema. Just a little ways up from Lothian, on Home Street, is a the Cameo picture house, one of the oldest cinemas in Scotland still in use. Not too far away, on Leven Street, is the King's Theatre offering great theatre all year round.
And for a bit fresh air, the Meadows park is not too far away either, for that perfect afternoon stroll or summer day barbeque. During the Festival season, the Meadows is packed with artists and venues of all sorts. The Edinburgh Farmers Market is on every Saturday right next to the apartment, see URL for details http://www.edinburghfarmersmarket.co.uk/

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the apartment’s location- close enough to explore the city, yet peaceful to relax. We hope to welcome you back soon!
This apartment is in an incredible location right next to Edinburgh castle and an easy walk to the Old Town. Johnny Walker is only a couple of blocks away. The decor is comfortable and beautiful. The gourmet kitchen had everything we needed. Including a high end coffee maker & wine fridge. We loved the kitchen dinette for breakfast. The Bluetooth speakers throughout were a nice touch. The apartment was spotless and updated yet still kept its vintage charm.

What a joy to read your review - thank you! We’re so pleased you loved the location by the Castle and Old Town, and that the kitchen (coffee maker, wine fridge and all!) made mornings and evenings feel special. It means a lot that you noticed the balance between vintage charm and modern comforts like the speakers. Your photos are lovely too. It’s always nice to see the apartment through a guest’s eyes. We’d be delighted to welcome you back next time you’re in Edinburgh.
It was exactly what we needed and fit our group perfectly. Also perfectly located for walking to most of Old Town and historic attractions. Convenient to ground transport. The place was neat, clean, well appointed, and entirely as advertised.

Beautifully clean and well-appointed apartment with a view of the Edinburgh Castle. This apartment is in the perfect location within walking distance to restaurants and tourist sites. The beds were warm and comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and we even received a welcome bottle of champagne and chocolate. We would recommend it to everyone!

Thanks for your great review Adam. Glad you enjoyed the ideal location of the apartment and were able to take in the breath-taking views of Edinburgh Castle.
This apartment was perfect for five women on holiday. The bedrooms, living room, and kitchen were all spacious and well-appointed. Located on a beautiful street, we were able to walk most everywhere including the market just 0.2 miles away. Please note that the apartment is located one floor up from the street with no lift available. That was not a problem for us, but be prepared to hoist your luggage one flight up a winding staircase.

The apartment was very comfortable and had a warm feeling about it. It was spacious and very close to the castle and the Royal Mile. It was great to be able to do laundry and have a nice, easy breakfast before starting the day.

This was such a wonderful property for me and my family. The extra large sitting room was a lovely spot to sit and visit and the kitchen was well appointed. We felt at home and spoiled all at once. And of course it was an excellent location. Winner!

Thank you for your fantastic review, Diane! We're delighted to hear that our property provided a serene and upscale oasis for you and your family. It's wonderful to know that you enjoyed the extra large sitting room, the well-appointed kitchen and the excellent location. We look forward to welcoming you back for another winning experience!
This apartment was beautiful...we loved it. Quite spaceous and well furnished and decorated. The location was wonderful with several pubs/restaurants located quite nearby along with grocery. The stairs leading up were known about ahead of time and easily climbed by the younger ones who helped out the older ones with luggage so not a problem. Easy in and easy out and right in the center of old town. Would highly recommend it to all.
