About this property

Beautiful self contained flat in New Town, Stockbridge. Great location!

Self contained flat spread over two floors, a warm & welcoming home from home. Steps lead down from street level to the front door of this self contained basement/garden flat.

In an exclusive area of New Town, in the heart of Stockbridge, with the Botanical Gardens, Inverleith Park, Dean Village, the Waters of Leith & Princes Street all within easy walking distance. Sunday sees the Stockbridge market arrive with a feast of street food & local produce stalls.
There is no shortage of vintage shops, and unique boutiques for that bespoke gift.
There are restaurants & cafes to suit all tastes, with plenty of choice for vegans & people who are intolerant to certain ingredients. Also a great selection of bars that suit all tastes.

Close by there is designer shopping in the exclusive Multrees Walk, St. James Quarter and St Andrews Square area. Not far from here is the Playhouse Theatre & the Omni Theatre, with cinema & plenty of eateries. Down the road from there is the Broughton Road area, again with a great selection of restaurants, giftshops, bars & bistros.

It would take on average 10 to 15 minutes to walk up to Princes Street, however, if preferred there is a bus-stop right around the corner. The tram-stop is approx. 10 to 15 minutes walk away.

There is a great mix of hustle & bustle, yet greenery & nature right on our doorstep. Beautiful areas suitable for leisurely strolls or picturesque jogs around Dean Village, the Waters of Leith and the fantastic Inverleith Park which has an alternative viewpoint of the castle.

Unusually for Edinburgh city flats, there is a private front courtyard & a private back garden, exclusive to this property. Steps lead from the back door to the back garden.

There are two bedrooms, one double & one with twin beds. There is a beautiful freestanding bath & sink in the double bedroom which is downstairs. Additionally there is a separate shower room with toilet & a separate WC. Just what you need if there are a few staying over!

I like to think I have catered well for my guests, other than what is normally expected I supply:
1 hairdryer
1 pair of hair straighteners
Shampoo
Shower Gel
Conditioner
Hand & Body lotion
Tea
Coffee
Sugar
Porridge
Dried spices
Salt
Black pepper
Oil

A highchair & travel cot is available for infants on request.

There is a bluetooth speaker & plenty of USB Sockets so no heavy plugs to take with you, just the wires. There is WIFI throughout, plus a WIFI booster, and a Smart TV which will allow you to access Netflix, Prime etc.

Wonderful stay!

We loved our stay in Stockbridge! Such a great central location to see everything but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Dana’s place was very comfortable and spacious. It’s obvious that much love and care went into making this a special home away from home. We were sad to leave and hope to one day return and stay at Dana’s place again!

Loved this flat!

We loved our short stay in this great flat. It was in a fantastic location, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Dana was very helpful In answering the questions we had before our stay. Just wish we'd had more time to explore all the interesting shops and restaurants in the area. It wasn't quite warm enough to sit outside in the evening but anyone staying this week should be able to enjoy that treat!

Perfect flat, perfect location

This apartment has everything - gorgeous style, cleanliness, beautifully comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen. Convenient to explore Edinburgh city centre either on foot or catch a bus (almost at the door). Cafes, restaurants and grocery store all within 5-10 minutes walk. Excellent communication from the owner who has very thoughtfully set this place up with everything you could need. The only problem was that we didn't get to spend more time at home enjoying the flat!

Great location and comfortable property.

The property is ideally located. Close enough to the hustle and bustle, but far enough away to feel you are in a calm, quiet area. Stockbridge itself has lots of great shops and places to eat. The property is very comfortable and has everything needed. The outdoor space adds to the character. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms make it easy to accommodate more people. The bedroom set up is quite specific, so anyone renting will need to consider if it will work for them. We decided to stay in the room with the two single beds as we preferred easy toilet access. Our grown up daughters shared the downstairs space, and they were comfortable with each other walking through the third pullout couch bedroom space. The property was very clean and arrangements to meet at the property were easy and dependable. I would highly recommend this property to those who are not looking for a separate third bedroom.

Excellent property, Dana let us leave our luggage early on the day we arrived which was a real bonus. Easy walk into town, lots of eating places nearby, the Pantry just round the corner was ideal for breakfast. Would highly recommend.

The location was well within walking distance of all the sights we went to visit. Our host was attentive and made sure our stay was perfect!

Excited in Edinburgh

Historic property was beautiful and unique. With the uniqueness there are some sacrifices like no plugs in bathrooms. Hair styling would need to be done in another room but no mirror in the twin bedroom for the task. Two toilets were amazing but both are located upstairs. Despite those little intricacies, wonderful spot to stay. It was wonderfully decorated, very homey and welcoming. Excellent location for all the sights. Staples like spices, cooking oil, and tea provided in tiny kitchen which was well set up. Lower bedroom would benefit from dehumidifier due to age related stone building scents to benefit those with scent-sitivities. Listing states dryer however there is No electric dryer for clothing. A drying rack is provided and the washing machine had quick wash setting which was great when other Euro models take hours! Quiet neighbors. Also you have to scroll to the bottom of the description to see available parking is not free. We lucked out and arrived on the weekend so Saturday and Sunday was no charge but make note: parking costs 6 per hour and you had to move your car every 4 hours. That was the only stressor that turned out well in the end which isn’t the hosts issue but it would be nice if a parking pass could be included for the ultimate perfect stay.
