A contemporary one-bedroom apartment located in the heart of Edinburgh's city centre. Sleeps 2.

Enjoy a slice of the high life, at The Quartermile Residence No. 2. Sleeping up to two guests in style, this beautifully presented one bedroom apartment is located in the uber-cool Quartermile area – right on the edge of the Old Town, home to Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. With sleek, thoughtful decor throughout, and all the mod cons the discerning traveller could ask for, we guarantee you’ll be the envy of your friends after a visit to The Quartermile Residence No. 2.

Bathed in light, the open plan living and kitchen area benefits from modern interiors and is the perfect space for relaxing after a long day’s sightseeing, or planning your next adventure. Whether you fancy yourself as the next Nigella, or just want to whip up a quick breakfast, the contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances is on hand.

When it’s time to catch up on some rest, head in to the stylish double bedroom. A family bathroom with shower over bath completes this gorgeous property.

Please note we do not provide hypoallergenic bedding at our properties.

The surrounding area is a truly unique development in the heart of Edinburgh's city centre. Named Quartermile as it is a quarter of a mile to Edinburgh Castle and also a quarter of a mile from corner to corner. It is a prestigious locale, home to a number of stylish bars, cafes and shops, with the meadows at its doorstep. Within the development itself lies A Sainsbury's, Starbucks coffee shop and Peters Yard, so you merely have to pop out of the front door to find yourself some great food or hot morning coffee. We also recommend that you take a stroll through the vast greenery in the heart of the city, or have a gander at the myriad of wonders in the National Museum of Scotland. If you’d like to check out the attractions of the Royal Mile and Princes Street, a mere ten-minute walk will lead you to both. If you’d like to venture further afield, there are bus stops located 100 metres from the property, serviced by the efficient Lothian Bus company. Edinburgh Waverley is also within walking distance, meaning you have the rest of Scotland at your fingertips to explore!

This property doesn't come with free parking. Paid parking is available at Q-Park Quartermile located underneath the Quartermile Development.

Alternatively, limited paid on street parking is available in George Square.

Our first visit to Edinburgh

This apartment was ideal for us to explore Edinburgh. It is in a quiet block with a lovely view so was very relaxing. The area is just a short walk from the bustling city and all the attractions so it was good to get back to the peace after a days sightseeing. The apartment is well equipped although we mainly ate out as Edinburgh has many great restaurants and cafes. Sainsbury's is very close by. Tony was very friendly and helpful and easy to contact and communicate with. We would recommend this apartment and would stay here again.

Apartment with good space, close to action, outside of tourist crush.

We were in Edinburgh for 4 nights and needed a spacious apartment in a central location. This apartment was just right for the two of us. There is plenty of room, bedroom has a wonderful view, and the kitchen had all the amenities. The building was safe and in a very good location to walk to Edinburgh sites. It is just outside the main crush of tourists yet close enough to get to things. We felt safe in the evening walking back. A very handy supermarket is must a block away. The underground parking lot is right across the street. Tony was excellent at communicating - his response to our inquiries was very good. We highly recommend this property.

It's a comfortable property with a spacious kitchen and is in a great central location with easy access to Old and New Town, and Southside/Meadows. For my Fringe trip it was ideal.

Terrific flat in Edinburgh

Absolutely loved this property. It’s the perfect size for two. We had plenty of room and appreciated all the conveniences. Bakeries, groceries and restaurants are steps away. It’s well situated in the city for walking to major sites like the Royal Mile and Grassmarket. We even walked to Waverly station to catch a train to Sterling. The immediate area, including the Meadows and the University are beautiful and full of activity. Found the management compan to be very responsive to questions and requests. We would definitely want to stay here again.

Pleasant Flat with Spectacular Location and View

Our check in experience was poor. Hide and go seek search for key was extremely frustrating. Flat’s location is fabulous and the view amazing. Clean and well equipped kitchen. Clean bathroom with awkward tub/shower. Very comfortable bed. Very quiet, well maintained building.

Comfortable, quiet flat just off the Meadows

This is a superb flat. Very quiet, with a bedroom window looking out over The Meadows to the south. You are mere steps off Middle Meadow Walk, so it is quick to head anywhere in the city. The kitchen is well stocked, and the bed has a comfortable mattress. Having a washing machine was so nice! There's a Sainsbury's one minute away. The caretaker was right there to meet us when we arrived, and responded quickly when we had questions later. Would certainly stay here again!

This was a lovely apartment. A great location, close to the centre, parkland just outside, convenience store and restaurants very close by. Our only one reservation (hence loosing the fifth star) was the noise from the apartment upstairs (at night). If you're a heavy sleeper or wear earplugs I would recommend this apartment.
