Luxury central Edinburgh with stunning views of castle!

Location, location, location!

The Robert Louis Stevenson Suite is a luxury apartment with unprecedented views of Edinburgh Castle. Located just 2 minutes from the iconic Princes St on the corner of George St (lots of shopping, bars and restaurants) and North Castle St, the apartment is in the heart of the New Town, making it an ideal base for visiting all the main tourist sites of Edinburgh.

The apartment block was one of the first flats to be built in the New Town by James Craig in 1790 and sits directly adjacent to the Edinburgh town house of Sir Walter Scott! For the sake of clarity, the apartment is located on the first floor of the building and from street level there are approx 20 steps (no elevator as one of the first buildings to be erected in "The new Town" and is a listed building). The steps are more gradual and winding than steep and vertical.

The flat opens into a square reception hall providing access to all rooms. To the front of the flat and with a southerly aspect from its twin windows is a magnificent drawing room featuring a gas fire with iron grate and pretty timber mantle, dado paneling and delicate plaster work. A glazed door provides secondary access from the drawing room into a striking breakfasting kitchen fitted with an attractive range of painted timber units topped with thick granite surfaces and incorporating a full range of integrated appliances, including a recessed range cooker set, oven/grill, and microwave as well as a washing machine and full height fridge/freezer.
The bedrooms comprise a generously proportioned master bedroom with a king size bed and dual aspect views towards Edinburgh Castle. This bedroom features secondary double glazing and also benefits from a luxurious en-suite shower room.
The second bedroom is set up with twin beds (can be pushed together to form a double on request) and is served by an equally well fitted family bathroom off the hall.
Larger parties can enquire about our apartment in the same building - The Walter Scott Suite ( same building below this one on the first floor), has the same high spec and stunning views of Edinburgh Castle. Combined, both properties can accommodate up to 8 / 10 people comfortably. It has the same stunning views of Edinburgh Castle and can be made available by special request.

Great property and location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! Great location! Love that it was right above a pub but far enough away that we didn’t have any noise issues. Was fun to go walk down the stairs and get a cocktail each evening.

Spacious apartment close to everything

Stayed with my husband and adult son for 5 days, we were in Edinburgh for a wedding. Apartment was large and well appointed, even had an ironing board for our our formal attire that traveled in a suitcase. Easy walk to all the shops, restaurants, Old Town, the location couldn't be beat. I hadn't received detailed check-in instructions by the time we got there, but owner was immediately responsive to our texts and got us in quickly. I would definitely stay again!

Nice neighborhood with restaurants, pubs and shopping

It was our first visit to Edinburgh and the accommodation was close to Edinburgh castle, museums, the tram and Waverly Train station. Perfect for our visit. The flat had a large living room, two bathrooms, a modern kitchen and a quiet bedroom that met our needs. Overall, a nice place to stay.

Amazing Location

This property was perfect. The washer and dryer was small and did take a long time but it was much appreciated after traveling for a week. The location was perfect you could see Edinburgh castle right outside the window. We would definitely stay here again. At night you could hear passerbyers talking but it wasn’t too bad, my husband and I didn’t have any issues sleeping,

Perfect location in Edinburgh

This was our second stay in this unit and we loved it both times! Owner is helpful and responsive. Stairs up to the first floor were very manageable with our small bags.

Very comfortable apartment in the most convenient area

We really enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. The beds were comfy. The living room is spacious. The location is fantastic. We walked everywhere but if you need a taxi they come when scheduled via the number left at the flat. The host was amazingly prompt in messaging at the beginning of our stay when we needed a bit of help. We recommend this rental highly!

Cozy Flat in a Great Location

Flat was very spacious and comfortable. The host provided a helpful how-to-guide which was very useful though coming from the U.S. we did have to figure out how to power on the refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher which were without power when we arrived. Despite the cool, rainy weather we had a great stay and would consider again if we come back to Edinburgh.

Family vacation + TS Eras Tour

Our family of four enjoyed staying here for a few days. The apartment was clean and nice, perfect location, and Morris was super helpful. It was nice to have plenty of space to spread out and a kitchen to use. My daughter and I went to the Taylor Swift concert. The dining table was a great place to make our friendship bracelets. We were grateful for the hairdryers and curling iron in the apartment! The apartment location made it very easy to get to all the wonderful sights of Edinburgh. Hope to come back soon!
