Spotless apartment in a quiet neighborhood a short walk from Edinburgh city center. Attentive host available at a moment’s notice if needed. Spacious bedrooms with super comfortable beds and large bathrooms. Plenty of room to spread out or gather together in living areas or large kitchen/dining. Fridge stocked with starter items as well as a basket of coffee, teas & goodies. Many restaurants and shopping options nearby.

Fantastic Townhouse in central Edinburgh
We were on holiday as a family of seven adults. We loved how central the property was to everything, nothing was more than a 15-20 minute walk. The house itself is beautifully decorated and furnished and we loved the layout with the kitchen on the first floor. It was the hub of the place! Everything we needed was supplied and we appreciated the goodies left for us too! We found the street to be very quiet and right off George Street too. Would definitely come back again.

Really good set up for a family get together
This property suited us very well for what we wanted. Good sized bedrooms and plenty living accommodation in a central venue. It was easy walking to the various events we had planned. Beds were comfy, nice fluffy towels and good seating areas. The welcome hamper was very nice. Communication with the manager was also good. There was some street noise to be aware of though.

Spacious property in central location
Perfect stay for our son’s wedding in central Edinburgh. Easy to find. Garage for the car nearby-very handy. Enough room for us to have our separate space but come together in the communal areas. Tasteful decoration. Well equipped kitchen. Spotless & comfortable.

Simply out of this world!!!
We have enjoyed a three day stay to celebrate a family members 40th birthday. We have felt like we have won the lottery renting this beautiful home. It is absolutely gorgeous and super clean. All beds are very comfortable and there is an unlimited supply of hot water. The correspondence with Christine, the property manager has been fabulous. I really cannot think of one single negative. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Spacious townhouse in quiet central location
Spacious, modern, well equipped townhouse in the new town area of Edinburgh. Great location for local restaurants, shops and transport. As a town house it has lots of stairs so not great for anyone with mobility issues although one bedroom and neighbouring bathroom is on the ground floor.

Beautiful house, perfect location
'Mitchells' couldn't have been a better home for us to base ourse!ves on a 2 night visit to Edinburgh. Christine was very helpful and informative from early booking stage right up until the day of our arrival. A very welcomed hamper was waiting for us when we walked in and we wanted for nothing. The house worked so well for us all and just the little things were carefully thought out. The location was extremely central and easy walking distance to sightseeing, shopping, restaurants and bars. Everyone we met in Edinburgh couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. We all want to return!

About the host

Hosted by Graham & Sarah Mitchell

Host profile image
Setting up Graham Mitchell Architects in 1997, the business has developed in to a well-established architectural practice with offices both in Aberdeen and Edinburgh. We have a varied experience in both residential and commercial sectors with projects ranging from small house extensions and large new build bespoke houses to healthcare facilities, offices, agricultural buildings and hotels.

Why they chose this property

Having both business and family links with Edinburgh, we embarked on a personal venture to have a property in the city that allowed us to be both client and architect.

The Georgian architecture of Edinburgh's New Town is beautiful and we just fell in love with it!

What makes this property unique

Forming part of a Category A listed terrace, the building had been converted into offices which were then lying vacant. Having been altered many times over the years, we set about lovingly restoring the building to its former glory as a single townhouse. The process has been both exciting and at times daunting; from uncovering the original period features and intrinsic charm of the property to managing the renovation building works on site, leaving us with a house of which we are immensely proud.
