About this property

Pass the Keys | Modern 3 Bed Flat on the Historic Royal Mile

Modern and exceptionally central apartment in the heart of the historic Old Town on the world famous Royal Mile. The perfect location for enjoying the Edinburgh Fringe. Other famous attractions such as Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace are only a few minutes away by foot, making it the perfect place to visit the Capital and to enjoy the festival in August.

There are 2 large windows in the living/dining area that let in lots of natural light, making the open living area and kitchen the perfect place to relax after a day exploring the City.

The fully equipped kitchen is compact but offers all the modern appliances and utensils you need to cook up a delicious homemade meal.
There is a table and chairs that provide an ideal place to enjoy your meal with your loved ones or can also be used as a workspace.

There's a comfortable double bed in in the first bedroom and 2 single beds in the second one. Both bedrooms offer ample storage for you to store your personal belongings!

The well decorated and modern bathroom offers a walk in shower, WC and a sink.

The property is located on the 4th floor, (no lift but it's worth it for the view!)

Great location! Very spacious. We got rapid response to all our questions. It is on the 4th floor (with no elevator) which will be important to note for anyone with limited mobility.

The flat was really well decorated perfect size very clean. There is truly four flights of stairs. But it’s located in the best place possible. And the evenings are quiet.

Good location, hard beds and noise
We ended up leaving 2 nights early due to our inability to sleep well. The beds are really hard and you can feel the springs in them, there is noise outside that you can hear very clearly, and there is no elevator so you have to climb 4 flights of stairs which is very difficult with younger children who have luggage of their own.

Great Location, Great Place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This property is great. Well cared for and the host was attentive without being obtrusive. The flat was clean and well appointed, perfect for family of 4. Check in instructions were perfect, access was very easy. You can’t beat this location. Right in the middle of the Royal Mile and about 10 minute walk (uphill but rather easy) to the Edinburgh Castle. Easy access to the coach tours, short walk to both New Town and Old Town shops, pubs, and restaurants. Easy walking distance from/to the Waverley rail station, but take Market Street to North Bank Street for a gentler walk uphill with your luggage. The flat is modern and comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped and everything worked as expected. Although the toilet and bath is a little narrow, it appears recently renovated, looks great and has a great towel warmer, when the heat is on. Minor caution on the stairs, 4 flights may be a bit much for some younger or older guests. My family and I had no issues so not a concern, just for awareness. The place has pretty much everything you need for a nice short or extended stay. Great place, great location, great host.

Fantastic location in Old town. A few minutes walk to Edinburgh Castle. Up four flights of stairs which we were aware of. This apartment won't suit people with mobility issues as there isn't a lift. The first thing you see when you open the front door is a water stain on wall in living room/kitchen. Stale smell in living room/kitchen. Possibly from smoking. Bathroom is small but functional. Kitchen is fully equipped, fridge/freezer, kettle, toaster, microwave, oven. Cutlery could have been cleaner. Wash up liquid would have been helpful. Overall, the location of this apartment is what makes it a winner and would recommend it for this reason.
