About this property

Delightful city-centre maindoor flat - bright and sunny with private courtyard

You'll be in Edinburgh's most splendid Georgian location amidst this UNESCO World Heritage site. Here the grand façade is arranged around a lavish circular garden, with restricted road access affording it a surreal sense of calm and silence - perhaps best appreciated after dark under the New Town's atmospheric white street lights.
Despite the peace, bohemian Stockbridge is a delightful 5 minute walk along cobbled streets, whilst George Street's high-end shops and venues are similarly close by to the south.
Accessed via a private gate down a short stone staircase, the front door can be found opening onto a sunny but sheltered courtyard which is a magical spot for al-fresco breakfasting or evening drinks. Once inside the open-plan layout is clean, comfortable and fully-equipped for your stay, with enough period features (high skirting boards and working shutters) to remind you where you are.

Moray Place Edinburgh- Long Weekend
The apartment was every bit as nice and comfortable as the photos and previous reviews illustrated. Perfect location, close to Stockbridge for shops and restaurants and only a few minutes walk into the busy city centre streets and to buses, trams etc. The apartment is very clean and comfortable inside and provided everything we needed as a couple for the stay. We would highly recommend and will be back for another stay sometime soon.

Beautiful flat in Edinburgh's New Town
I spent a couple of weeks in this lovely little flat, and it really felt like a home from home. It was extremely comfortable and cosy in a lovely style, and there were some very thoughtful touches by the hosts, including a starter kit of food and drink in the kitchen and I particularly appreciated the hot water bottle as it was February! At that time of year I obviously didn't spend time in the courtyard, but it was nice to have that little private outdoor area outside the windows. The flat is extremely convenient for getting around Edinburgh, and I loved being able to explore the local area which has so much history! Highly recommended to give you the feel of living in this wonderful part of Edinburgh!

The best stay
Everything about my stay was wonderful; the communications with the owners throughout (which was excellent - thank you so much), the simply beautifully decorated apartment, all the lovely personal touches, and last but not least the city of Edinburgh, as stunning as ever. Happily, the weather was unseasonably warm so having the courtyard was brilliant & very welcome as well. I loved it all.

Great Location of an excellent appartment
We really enjoyed our weeks stay in Moray Place. The appartment was ideally sited for access to the centre of Edinburgh and also very close to the delightful Stockbridge and Botanical Gardens. We were able to leave our car by the Botanic Gardens for a very reasonable £6.70 a day. The appartment itself was extremely well and thoughtfully equipped and very compact. We would love to rent the appartment again given the opportunity

Great homely base in Edinburgh
We stayed in Moray Place for a week and really enjoyed it. The flat is really nicely furnished and felt like a home from home. Check in was easy and the owners were very communicative. For us it wasn't a big issue but would note that parking isn't available at the property itself (available nearby)

We were delighted
Lovely tastefully decorated apartment, spotlessly clean, with first class attention to detail. Very well appointed, the flat had everything we needed for a most enjoyable short break. Conveniently located near the West End, close to city centre and transport links. We were delighted, this was possibly the best holiday accommodation we have ever rented.

Lovely location
This was our first visit to Edinburgh, having used HomeAway several times in the past for trips to the US this was our first choice to look for accommodation in the UK. Weng & Martin’s place stood out straight away, great location, tasteful decoration etc, Weng & Martin were great to deal with from the start, very prompt and very informative. The studio was even better than expected, very spacious, spotless and very welcoming in a lovely location. Thank you Weng & Martin, we will definitely be back.

Lovely apartment
We just came back after a wonderful week at Weng and Martins place. It was the perfect base for exploring Edinburgh and it was great coming home after a long day and relax in this beautiful apartment. The kitchen is well equipped and even has a french press which we used every morning. The bed is comfortable and the shower larger than the one we have at home. We were able to walk everywhere and we especially enjoyed out walk through Dean Village and from there the footpath along the Water of Leith down to the Royal Botanic Garden. As others have mentioned you can do all your grocery shopping in Stockbridge and there are a lot of good restaurants well within walking distance. So book your stay, pack your slippers and enjoy. Thank you Martin and Weng Gudrun and Thorsteinn, Reykjavik

Fabulous place to stay!
Recently celebrated my 50th Birthday in Edinburgh staying at this property for 3 nights and could not have wished for a more nicer place to stay. So lovely decorated and furnished it made for a special weekend and somewhere we looked forward to going back to after a day of exploring the city. Martin and Weng were most proficient in providing us with details for our stay and I must say that the place was exceptionally clean, with a bottle of wine and basics to get us started on our arrival which was much appreciated! The apartment is located in a very picturesque, quiet part of the city, convenient for shops and exploring the city on foot. Thank you Martin and Weng ... we do hope we can make a return visit soon. A thoroughly nice place to stay!

The best address, the best flat, the best stay ever...
What a discovery and what a place!  Right at the heart of Edinburgh's smartest neighbourhood this spacious flat wants for nothing.  And despite being at the heart of everything it's whisper quiet, with the best bed ever.  The kitchen is better equipped than our own at home, the bathroom is luxurious with a huge and powerful rain shower, and the main accommodation is just so thoughtfully done and smartly furnished.  Two blocks one way takes you to Stockbridge with its village vibe and two blocks the other to upscale George Street, it couldn't be better placed to walk everywhere.   We met the hosts on arrival, whose knowledge of Edinburgh was encyclopaedic and who simply could not have done more to welcome us and ensure our happiness, at every stage from booking to leaving.  Exceptional in every way - we're already working out how and when to return.

A Perfect Christmas.
We booked Weng & Martin's apartment for Christmas and it was perfect. Cosy, comfortable and impeccably furnished. They were incredibly helpful in the lead up to our stay, making sure we had everything we needed to cook and serve Christmas dinner. And best of all, when we arrived there was a beautifully decorated Christmas Tree. We will definitely return, A&J

Beautifully designed apartment in central location
The apartment is lovely - though small, it has everything you need and the decor and equipment are all high quality. Despite being ‘below stairs’ the flat is light and it was really cosy on a bitterly cold weekend. The owners had kindly provided provisions which meant we didn’t have to bother about shopping for breakfast when we arrived. They communicated extremely well and were very thoughtful. The location is excellent as the immediate vicinity, in a stunning ‘circus’, is quiet but a 10 minute walk takes you to Princes Street. The Christmas market was really good though busy at the weekend - I recommend going on Friday morning when it is nice and quiet. We enjoyed eating at Scran and Scallie in Stockbridge and at New Chapter which was a bit of a walk away but worth the effort. The only minor downside is the constant hum from the adjacent substation which can be a bit of a problem for sleeping - don’t forget your ear plugs.

Very comfortable and great location
We stayed here for a week in November, excellent arrival instructions got us in, the apartment is beautifully decorated and is cosy and warm. Everything you need is provided along with a few extra provisions from the owners to greet you. The apartment is perfectly located for the city of Edinburgh and also for Stockbridge. There are many local shops and restaurants within 10mins walk. Excellent transport services. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return. Recommended.

Beautiful apartment, very well thought out for short term stays. This is 5* accommodation where every little detail of your stay had been thought of and accommodated well. Quiet area but easy walking distance to castle and Old town. Many thanks to owners M&W and we hope to return at some point in the future!

Lovely stay at Moray Place
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Moray Place. The bed was extremely comfortable, we slept 12 hours straight after 24 hours of travel! The apartment not only looked wonderful, but also worked well. All appliances were in perfect working order and had clear instructions. All the lights worked, shower was large with great water temperature and pressure. The kitchen had every utensil we needed, and more! When we arrived we found a nice selection of treats and breakfast supplies. For those bothered by noise, this apartment is wonderfully quiet! Moray Place is a great location, we walked everywhere, but had our lovely little oasis to come back to in the evening. You will not regret staying here, we can't wait to return!

Lovely apartment for couples in stunning location
This was a perfect apartment with all the facilities one needs for a stay (short or long) in beautiful Edinburgh. The location is ideal, in Edinburgh's gorgeous New Town - easy walking distance to Stockbridge and a short walk to George Street/ Princes Street. The owners were very kind and attentive - we received an SMS on arrival to make sure everything was OK and they had left a bottle of wine and personal card to welcome us. Such a lovely touch! There was also bread, milk, butter, tea and coffee to start us off. We enjoyed every minute and would not hesitate to recommend - also, we would certainly book again! A comfortable, cozy, delightful apartment!

A Hidden Gem
A fabulous apartment kitted out with everything you need for a great stay in a fantastic city. Close to everything, we could walk the whole of the city from here and did ! The immaculate apartment was a real treat to come back to after taking in all the sights and the special touches left by the owners made us feel very welcome. It is bright and airy in a lovely part of new town and is beautifully decorated . We had breakfast out in the terraced area most mornings and visited the local Stockbrige market on Sunday morning at the owners suggestion it was a lovely little market with lots of artisan food and crafts. I would thoroughly recommend choosing to stay here and plan to return again next year. Thanks again. Gwyn and Jane
