    Edinburgh's Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Scotland's most popular tourist destinations. The impressive Edinburgh Castle dominates the area, which sits atop Castle Rock. The castle is home to Scotland's Crown Jewels and the Stone of Destiny and offers stunning views of the city and surrounding countryside. The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is a beautiful oasis in the heart of the city, and the Palace of Holyroodhouse is the official residence of the British monarch in Scotland. Other highlights include the Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, Holyrood Park, the Scottish National Gallery, and St Giles' Cathedral. Edinburgh Waverley Station is just a five-minute walk from the Old Town, and Haymarket Station is just a two-kilometre away. The area has plenty of cafes and restaurants, and The Dome is a popular spot for a coffee or light bite.

    Transport links are good and nearby. Waverley Station is a ten-minute walk away down Cockburn Street. Glasgow is an hour away by train and you can get to North Berwick to explore the coast if you want to go further afield. There are many buses from North Bridge which will take you to different parts of Edinburgh. We would recommend going out to Portobello where you can sit and watch the sea or go for a paddle. It’s a wonderful contrast to the bustle of the City and a lovely bracing walk along the esplanade. You can buy a day ticket on the bus and then hop on and off as the fancy takes you. Edinburgh also has a tram system which is currently being extended to go down to Leith.

    This property is a self-check-in property, and you will be requested to verify your identity before being able to check into the flat. You can check in any time of the day as long as you respect our standard check-in time (3 PM).

    Also, we charge £50 for each set of lost keys (security keys may cost more). There may be an additional cost to replace the locks for security purposes. So, please keep your keys safe.

    There is a zero-tolerance policy for smoking on the property. If our team discovers evidence that this rule has been breached (e.g., smoke smell, ashes, butts, etc.), we fully reserve the right to charge a minimum of £300 for the smoking fee.

    We do not allow parties, large gatherings, loud noises, or outside guests. Should we receive sufficient evidence of such activity, we reserve the right to cancel your stay (without a refund) and may involve a security team to evict you. Any associated cost will be charged to you via your security deposit. Local authorities may also be present (if required).

Charm and great location

Incredible location on the Royal Mile and within walking distance of Waverly Train Station. Great for family of 4 (teens in smaller bedroom). Apartment is up 2 flights of curved stairs, which we didn't mind, but good to know.

We had an excellent stay! Flat was clean, easy to find once we noticed that “Fringe” was a storefront. The queen bed could use a new mattress topper as I could feel some springs, but I would still stay there again. Thanks for the instant coffee! That was a lifesaver!!!

This was the flat of our dreams! Perfect location, perfect in every way. Everything you need was available and it was exceptional clean and tidy. There is one hitch... the stairs. We were not bothered by them, but anyone with mobility issues must keep this in mind. It took a bit to get our legs in shape, but it was worth every stair for what we consider the best flat in Edinburgh! This is not our first stay, so we speak from experience. If this flat is available for your trip, please consider it, you won't regret it.

Great location just off the Royal Mile. Lots to see and do - near lots of the big attractions. Apartment nice enough, beds very comfy but needs a bit of a face-lift and we were kept up by the noise outside.

Only issue I had during my visit was returning the keys. That key lock box on the blue door frame is TOO small for those keys and missing that little hanger inside it. We could barely fit those keys inside it. Please try it yourself and you will understand what I'm talking about
