We loved this home. It is well located in Grass Market; close to all amenities and highlights. The hosts include lots of small items which are so important to your comfort; paper towels, sugar, laundry soap, etc. The home is clean and bed is comfy. We will return.

What a great location!

What a great location and lovely apartment! Everything we needed was included and we loved being able to walk to everything including dinner at Howie’s and Bertie’s, up the hill to the Royal Mile and the cemetery on the other side. The apartment was so well appointed that we needed nothing for quick meal prep and clean up even down to the body wash and a little olive oil and laundry pods! Thanks so much for a wonderful time in Edinburgh and we would definitely recommend to others.
This is literally steps from the apartment. So easy! Victoria Street
Living area was much more spacious than anticipated!

What a great location for seeing Edinburgh! There you are next to Grass market shops and restaurants,Victoria sheet and an easy walk to the castle and royal mile. Our host gave me fantastic walking directions from the train station avoiding the stairs and a steep climb with my suitcases. Easy! The proximity to groceries was fine. There are steps up to the apartment but not too bad. Security is great. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the sights of Edinburgh in this conveniently located apartment in a close behind Mussel and Steak ( which was a great place to eat by the way!) a superb location for exploring this super interesting city. This was a great pick for us!

About the host

Hosted by Fiona

Host profile image
I am a working mother living in Edinburgh. I grew up in Aberdeen in Scotland and have since lived and travelled in Azerbaijan, Australia and Finland. I've now been back in Scotland and in this fantastic city for many years, and I can really say that Edinburgh feels like our home.
There are so many hidden places to discover in (and around) Edinburgh, it constantly surprises me even after years of living here.

I look forward to sharing this beautiful city with you. :D

Why they chose this property

It's a beautiful mix between modern and traditional. A historic 200 year old building with all the luxury of modern living! I love that the apartment is right in the city centre and that you can experience all the buzz of the city by foot.
