Living and Dining
The open plan living and dining area is the true heart of the flat. Filled with light and decorated in a welcoming style, it is ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The large L-shaped sofa can be converted into a double bed for an extra adult or child, making the space flexible for different groups. A dining table seating six is perfect for sharing meals and conversation, creating a social hub at the centre of the home.
Kitchen
The kitchen is modern and well thought out, with sleek black counters, wooden units and matching flooring. It comes fully equipped with everything you need for cooking, including an oven, hob, microwave, toaster and kettle, as well as plenty of pans, utensils and serving dishes. Whether you are putting together a quick breakfast or preparing dinner, this kitchen makes cooking easy and enjoyable.
Master Bedroom
Relax in the spacious master bedroom, where a comfortable king-size bed with soft linen takes centre stage. Natural light streams in during the day, while a blackout blind ensures a peaceful sleep at night. Ample wardrobe space means you can unpack and feel at home, while bedside tables, lamps and soft carpeting give the room a calm and restful atmosphere.
En-Suite
The master bedroom benefits from its own en-suite with shower, toilet and basin. With shelving for your toiletries, a mirror and fresh towels, the space is both practical and calming. Complimentary toiletries are provided to make your stay more comfortable.
Second Bedroom
The second bedroom is bright and restful, offering a double bed with hotel-quality linen and a roomy wardrobe. A large window lets in plenty of light, or you can close the blinds for privacy and a restful sleep. The soft furnishings and clean design make this a lovely place to retreat at the end of the day.
Main Bathroom
The main bathroom is finished with modern white tiles and a wooden floor. It has a full-sized bath with shower, a toilet and basin, plus handy storage and a mirror. Whether you prefer a quick shower before heading out or a long soak in the tub, you’ll find everything you need, along with fresh towels and complimentary toiletries.
Book your stay today and enjoy a welcoming home in the very heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. With a fantastic location, contemporary style and thoughtful touches throughout, this flat is an ideal choice for a comfortable and memorable visit.
Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire property during their stay.
The Neighborhood:
Edinburgh’s Old Town is the lively cultural centre of the city, with winding lanes and historic buildings that date back centuries. Today it is packed with an exciting mix of restaurants, bars and nightlife, while also being home to many of Edinburgh’s most famous landmarks. From the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle to the Grassmarket and the Edinburgh Dungeons, you will find much of the city’s history and charm right on your doorstep.
For tips on great places to eat and drink nearby, be sure to check the guidebook on my listing.
Getting Around:
One of the great advantages of staying in the Old Town is how close you are to everything, with most attractions just a short walk away.
From the Airport: Take the tram or the Airlink bus directly to Waverley Station. From there you can either enjoy a 15 minute walk to the apartment or take a quick taxi ride.
By Train: The nearest station is Edinburgh Waverley. From here you can hop on Lothian Bus routes 33 or 3, or simply take a taxi for a fast and easy journey.
By Bus: Edinburgh is well served by Lothian Buses. Their free app is very handy, offering maps, fare details and real time updates to help you get around the city with ease.
Other Things to Note:
The local signal can occasionally drop which may cause the Wi-Fi to be a little patchy at times.
