Bright and comfortable home, with a serene atmosphere. The area is generally quiet, with one bedroom looking out into the garden, and the other a side street with little to no traffic. It is decorated in a vibrant, retro-modern style with lots of small touches throughout.

In the kitchen, you'll find the washing machine and cooking facilities (microwave / oven / hob) etc, should you need to do some washing or whip up a meal.

The two double bedrooms are furnished with double beds fitted with hotel-quality linens, and wardrobe storage where you can unpack. There is also a double sofa bed in the living room.

The apartment is on the second floor (ground, first, and then second) and there are 8 apartments in the block. Neighbours are a mix of families, older couple and long term tenants. Whilst it is appreciated that the flat may be used for groups in the festival it should not be a party house for large groups or late night noise.

There is WiFi available throughout the property.

We hope you have a fantastic stay.

Guests will have the entire apartment to themselves.

We are GuestReady, a property manager, and we want to ensure your stay will be as smooth and comfortable as possible. We are available 24/7 should you need any assistance during your stay. Kindly note that this is a personal home so please take good care of it as if it was your own.

Known for being home to Edinburgh’s main university campus at George Square, Newington has a busy student culture and is littered with restaurants, cafes and bars. From Newington it is about a 10 to 15 minute walk to the city centre with the leafy residential area of the Grange to Newington’s West and Liberton and Gilmerton to the South. The building of South Bridge in 1788 connected once rural Newington to the city and still stands as a bustling connecting road today. The architecture is made up of Victorian tenement flats commonly seen throughout the rest of Edinburgh. Be sure to check out my guidebook for food and drink recommendations in the area!

The apartment is 2 minutes walk from Pleasance, a large festival venue and beer garden, and from Clerk Street, where you will find lots of lovely coffee shops and cafes that are handy for breakfast and a Tesco Metro. The Royal Mile / Cowgate is a 10 minute walk - this is the heart of the festival with lots of street performers and pop up comedy venues. Arthur's seat is around a 15 minute walk from the apartment, as is the Meadows which hosts many festival venues.

10 minutes walk from NCP car park on the Cowgate. Short or long term parking is also available at St Leonard's. Local buses are available on the adjoining streets, with buses to the Royal Mile or Princes Street. Edinburgh Waverley train station is a 15 minute walk or short cab journey.
