About this property

Milton · Beautiful Holyrood Park Apartment -Near Royal Mile

This high end apartment is located in a prime (but quiet) city centre location only a few minutes walk from the Royal Mile! The apartment is in a prime location to explore Edinburgh's Historic Centre, situated in a traditional Edinburgh Georgian building backing onto Holyrood Park - a green oasis in the City Centre. With Holyrood Palace a stone's throw from our front door... when the Queen is in residence you are quite literally her neighbour!
- Please be aware that the entrance stairwell into our apartment is a locked communal area shared by all the apartments in this building. Unfortunately, we don't have much control over this area and it may appear tatty and dark. The building is 120 years old and not the "brand new" light and airy marble hotel lobby you may be accustomed to. If you feel this will make you uncomfortable please do not book or contact us with questions.

- Locals must contact us prior to booking.

- Please read the apartment manual on arrival at the property.

- No shoes indoors - in particular high-heels due to real wooden floors. Damage to our wooden floors may be charged to your card (hint: they are expensive).

- Please respect our neighbours, and do not make significant noise or play loud music after 10pm. Please be quiet when entering and exiting the building. It is a quiet neighbourhood - strictly no parties. Our neighbours will make us aware of any parties and the police will be called and you will be asked to leave with no refund.

- We don't offer a maid service. It is a self catering apartment - if you make use of the kitchen please wash your dishes.

- Towels provided must not be used for removal of makeup etc.

- No outside visitors or overnight guests without prior approval.

- No commercial activities are allowed without prior approval - i.e. filming.

- No smoking, vaping, candles or incense burners permitted. You must leave the premises to smoke. Please don't dispose of butts on the ground.

- Garbage should be removed regularly to prevent smell and so as not to attract pests.

- If you damage something you should inform us so we can come to a fair agreement.

Spacious clean apartment

The communication between the host and ourselves was excellent. I was a little nervous about the place when I entered the building because it seemed rundown but don’t let the entrance deceive you. This apartment was lovely, clean and well taken care of with pride.

Great location for a walking trip to Edinburg

Smooth booking, complete info just prior to arrival. Access to the property was smooth and as described. Clean, simple apartment with solid basic amenities. Being tall people, a bigger bed would have been ideal. Appreciated the coffee and laundry with the kitchen supplies. In summary, accurate description and photos. Do recommend!

Amazing location and super clean updated apartment

This updated apartment was exactly as listed. Super clean which is very important to us. The location is even better than you can imagine. Close to Royal Mile and if you like to run and hike this is the location for you with Holyrood park at your door. We highly recommend this apartment.

Loved our stay

The property is exactly as shown - while quite small it was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. A perfect location for Holyrood and Arthur's Seat which we really enjoyed and found very beautiful. Approximately 10-15 minute walk to the Royal Mile and 20-25 minutes to Waverley station. Buses travel near the apartment but we never took them. Many thanks to Ben and Ollie for their fast and attentive responses at all times. We miss Edinburgh and our home away from home already!

Lovely Apartment

For some reason we were actually expecting an efficiency apartment so were pleasantly surprised to find it was a one bedroom (so much larger than expected). It was beautifully designed and cozy. I wish those responsible for the exterior maintenance would take half as much care. I would tell anyone not to be put off by the entrance foyer and stairwell. They are dank and dark but the apartment was perfect. The area was also very nicely located. We were originally supposed to stay for 3 nights but only got to enjoy two due to a fiasco with the airline getting us to Scotland. We stayed one night then joined a tour group to travel all over Scotland. Everyone on the tour asked where we were staying in the city and they were all envious of our location. It truly is near everything. The owner was response and courteous. I would highly recommend this place and would consider staying there again if I'm ever back in the UK.

Delightful Location

The flat is spacious and well-appointed. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom, though tiny, has everything we needed. The kitchen was well-stocked and very clean. We were happy with the location and walkability to the Royal Mile and to Sainsbury’s, too.

Nice appartment in Old Town Edinburgh

We enjoyed are stay here. The simplicity and clean modern look was to our liking and a nice surprise to the overall building. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to use. The bathroom, though small had a great shower. This set up works well for a couple traveling and not wanting to eat out all of the time. Of course the location to Holyrood park and the Royal mile couldn't have been better. Easy walking and bus transport also a plus. All of the directions and communication with the host was excellent and timely.

Absolute must for travelers

First off Ben was incredibly nice and made sure that we knew where to go and have everything settled. The place itself is in the most perfect location. It’s less than a 10 min walk to the city center. If you can book this place for your stay. It has everything

Lovely little flat in great location

This flat is located steps away from Holyrood Palace and Arthur’s Seat, with Holyrood Park at the end of the street. The apartment itself is clean and modern, the kitchen is equipped with everything you would need for a few days’ stay. The shower is nice too, just wish the sink was a bit larger! The street is quiet despite its location in the city.

Apartment with Everything You Need in an Excellent Location for Edinburgh!

We were exceptionally happy with this apartment. It was such a treat to be just steps from Holyrood Park, and everything else in wonderful Edinburgh was within easy walking distance. The apartment itself had everything we needed for a comfortable, five day stay; the owners (Ben and his brother) have put much thought and care into providing for their guests, and the binder-full of local info is very comprehensive--we wish we could have fit in all of the recommendations, but we did our best! For such a centrally-located place, the street is surprisingly quiet--very peaceful at night. We would love to return again--thank you!!

My brother and I own the property. We both live in the city centre - very close to the property. I've lived in Edinburgh for the last few years and Ben studied at the University of Edinburgh and has remained in Edinburgh ever since. We both share a love of travel and have travelled extensively - but always end up back in the world's best city, in the world's best country!
