Old Town Edinburgh

This apartment was fantastic! Would highly recommend! It was clean, well appointed and convenient. The host was very generous and made sure we had the essentials. We were sad to leave. We watched FRINGE entertainment from the window, right outside our apartment, on the Royal Mile. I will definitely book again - if I ever get to Edinburgh again.

"As a family we have used self catering properties around the world for our own holidays and know how important it is to make sure that when you arrive you are not disappointed with your choice of holiday accommodation. The two main areas of disappointment that we have found are location and standard!

The apartments that we offer are situated in Edinburgh's no 1 historic tourist street being the Royal Mile and Grassmarket area. Our apartments are maintained and cleaned to a very high standard exactly as we would want to find ourselves when going on holiday.

We look forward to welcoming you to Edinburgh.
