The Space:
Hello! Our gorgeous flat boasts Castle views from the front door step and is on a traditional cobbled street in a classic Georgian building. Situated in the desirable New Town neighbourhood, it’s within easy walking distance of the busy city centre. (10 minutes’ walk)
The apartment is a quiet, unique and secluded haven from the hustle and bustle. Includes a galley kitchen and a cosy living room with a cream electric stove fireplace. Bathroom with shower and bedroom with comfy bed, where you can walk straight out to the private garden. There is also a walk in wardrobe with a nice big mirror. An outdoor table and chairs for two can be found in the garden.
Free parking can be found at the end of the street. Metered parking available immediately outside.
Buses are available from the end of the street towards city centre.
Guest Access:
Guests have access to entire apartment and private walled garden.
The Neighborhood:
The Apartment is so central with easy access to old town and new town. It is very easy to get to either by bus from the airport, or train arriving in city centre. Buses leave from the end of the road which take you up to the festival areas if you don't feel like walking. It is very close to Broughton street where you will find cool little shops/bars and restaurants. We particularly like Treacle for drinks and L’Escargot Bleu for food. The Scottish National Portrait Gallery is definitely worth a trip, make sure you have a cake in their café afterwards. It is only a short uphill walk away from the apartment. I love that every morning I leave the apartment you see the view Edinburgh's beautiful castle.
