About this property

Splendid Georgian main-door apartment in Edinburgh's West End

Centrally located two-bedroom apartment (sleeps 1–4) on a splendid Georgian Street in the West End, just a few minutes' walk from Princes Street and the shops and sights of the city centre and Old Town. This apartment is very close to the tram stop for Edinburgh airport. This is a peaceful location in the heart of Edinburgh's spectacular West End architecture.

This holiday home is a spacious and comfortable two-bedroom apartment on ground floor of an architecturally significant building. The street is one of the grandest streets in the West End. The apartment is within easy walking distance of the major tourist attractions, festival venues, shops, nightlife and transport connections. The tram stop for Edinburgh Airport is a short walk away at the West End/Princes Street tram stop.

The living room is dual aspect including a bay window with a large leather sofa and leather easy chairs. There's a dining table in the living room which converts into a pool table. The kitchen is well provided with crockery, cutlery, glasses and kitchenware. Bedroom one has a king-size double bed with en-suite bathroom (bathtub with shower over). On the mezzanine level -- reached by a short staircase to a break-out area with L-shaped sofa -- is bedroom two, which also has a king-size double bed and an en-suite shower room. The main bathroom has a bathtub (with a shower attachment available). The apartment has gas central heating and the price of electricity and local taxes is included. For the comfort of future guests, the apartment is non-smoking and pets are not allowed.

The apartment is on the ground floor with a few steps from the street to reach the main door. For bedroom two there's a short flight of stairs.

3.5 Stars for this experience :(
The flat is as pictured-- lovely furnishings and the kitchen was well appointed. Martin was very communicative until a plumbing problem arose and then it was radio silence from him for 3 days. We ended up fixing the toilet ourselves and using another bathroom's sink because our en suite one did not drain *at all*. The rest of the bathrooms were only superficially clean as the back of the sink had been collecting dust for quite some time. The very worst part was that our bed sheets had not been changed. We know this because of the fresh body-shaped wrinkles and the HAIR in between the sheets at the foot of the bed. The duvet cover had clearly not been washed before our arrival as there was a crusty stain of some sort on the head edge of it. We spent our first night at 11pm stripping the bed and searching the closets for clean sheets, as several that we pulled out did not smell like they had been washed either. We are disappointed in our experience as it was the first family vacation we had taken since the pandemic.

Overall
We enjoyed staying at the apartment. The location is in walking distance to the Royal Mile and other sites. Having our own private bathroom was a plus. The apartment is designed beautifully. On the other hand, it really needs a good cleaning. Also, we found ants on the kitchen counter and in the entryway (daily). The main floor bedroom mattress has seen better days. Host replied to correspondence in a timely manner and was really helpful.

Amazing location
This flat was just perfect for the 4 of us! 2 king size beds, 3 full baths. 10 minute walk to the train station, pubs and shopping. Host was very responsive and helpful. Would love to stay there again! Very comfortable, very easy! You can walk to old town or easily can it as well!

Great location, lovely flat
The flat was great for our 9 day stay for my family of 4 adults. The living room was enormous and furniture was comfortable, the kitchen was very well-stocked, and the appliances worked really well. Beds were very comfortable. Could not open most of windows in living room, and we visited during a warm spell. A few other minor issues were brought to the attention of the property manager, but nothing worth mentioning here. Overall, a pleasant stay in a great (and quiet) part of town during the August festivals.

Great place to stay
The management should supply toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags. Mostlikly these items had just just ran out prior to our arrival. Otherwise this was perfect for our stay. We loved the extra care with the Christmas decorations and decorated tree. It felt very festive and we are thankful to the hosts being so thoughtful. ❤️ Cheers

Would not recommend
Property is freezing cold. Not very clean. Cracked bathroom sinks and no counter space in bathrooms. Damage on mezzanine ceiling that needs repair due to water leak. Very drafty exterior door and no thermal curtains in sitting room to stop the room from becoming cold. The whole place is just tired.

Excellent stay in the West End
This is a dramatic property: big living rooms, bold furnishings, a very well-equipped kitchen, two big bedrooms and three baths. It is located in a good neighborhood with many other large town houses. Plenty of cafes and shopping just a short walk away. Martin, the property manager, is very responsive, very flexible, friendly, and communicates clearly. For example, we had need to make alternate arrangements for our arrival and Martin made sure everything worked out. We enjoyed staying here.

Perfect Accommodation
Martin could not have been a better host! His communication was very timely. His apartment was lovely and very posh. We had a heat wave while there and he made sure we had fans for the evening. I would recommend this property to anyone traveling to Edinburgh. We will stay here again!!

10 out of 10 for a wow factor and location.
We travelled throughout most of Europe and the Caribbean and would write this property as one of the best we’ve ever stayed in. Felt like we had gone back into Victorian times as part of the aristocracy. Perfect for groups of four with plenty of room and a large sitting area. Especially ideal if you take the tram in from the airport because you get off not more than two minutes walk away. You can enjoy the hustle And bustle of Edinburgh and then we treat to A quiet neighbourhood with coffee shops and restaurants nearby. We hated to leave.

Absolutely wonderful visit! Loved the property!
The only thing was the parking was a bit of an issue and would rather not had to deal with the machine every morning. Probably got a ticket!
