Old Town Royal Mile 2 Bedroom 2 Bathroom sleeps 5

Fabulous apartment, luxurious standard, best location. Views onto Royal Mile. Every mod convenience, comfortable beds. Designer fabrics, wallpapers, free wifi, internet tvs. Secure entry. Cosy & comfortable. 200 yards from Edinburgh Castle.

This 2nd floor apartment can accommodate a maximum of 5 persons. There are two bedrooms; bedroom1 - king size double , bedroom 2 - 2 single beds ( can be set up as a double bed), Double sofa bed in livingroom, 1 full bathroom and 1 en suite shower room. Bedroom is peaceful and quiet at night. Open plan kitchen/dining/livingroom with 3 windows looking directly onto Royal Mile. All windows in the property are double glazed. Bathrooms have under floor heating. There is gas central heating. The property retains great period features; old stone fireplaces, exposed ancient stone walls; and yet provides all modern conveniences and striking decoration.

Situated in the historic Old Town of Edinburgh, this is the best place to stay in the city. The Old Town is a World Heritage site. Steeped in history, packed with museums, visitor attractions, specialty shops, restaurants and pubs. Edinburgh castle is 1 minute walk from your front door. This area of the city has a real buzz and is a joy to explore. This apartment is however in a peaceful location late at night with no nightclubs or noisy pubs nearby. This a great place to stay anytime but a prime location during the Edinburgh Festival/Fringe or at New Year.

Great location, excellent property

The two bedroom, two bath apartment is at the top of the Royal Mile, and one can easily access all the sites both there and in New Town. It is a short walk to groceries, lots of good restaurants in the area.

Great Old Town flat

Excellent location for everything in the Old Town. Very modern flat with everything you need for two people. Despite being in a high density tourist location, very quiet. Outstanding communication with host - fast, detailed, answered any questions.

Great location

The location can’t be beat. We loved our stay there. Pictures are accurate, and the place was very clean. The narrow winding steps to the second floor were a bit challenging with our 50 pound suitcases. Thankfully, my husband is very fit and strong.

Perfect location

You won’t find a more perfect location. Right on the royal mile and Minutes walk from EdinBurgh Castle. Also has a freezer which is nice so you can have ice. Buses left for tours right outside the front door. Don’t stay here if you have trouble with stairs. We would stay again. It is well kept, clean and modern.

Charming Flat in the Heart of Edinburgh

This flat was phenomenal. Well designed and appointed, It is situated in the heart of Old Town on the Royal Mile, just steps from the castle. It was quiet at night and the beds were comfy. Just be warned, the steep spiral staircase tested our luggage-carrying skills, but it only added to the great charm of the place. Peter was a good communicator and offered great recommendations of places to eat. We also enjoyed Nok’s Kitchen and Hideout Café which are both great spots nearby. Would highly recommend!!

A wonderful location

Our visit to Edinburgh felt more authentic for having stayed in Paul’s apartment overlooking the Royal Mile. The sights and sounds of Edinburgh surrounded us, from climbing the spiral stairs in James Court to the nearby sounds of the bagpipe that serenaded us through the open window. The apartment is modern and comfortable and there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. We particularly appreciated the suggestions Paul has provided for his guests in a notebook.

Great apartment right on the Royal Mile and close to the castle. Had a washer, well stocked kitchen, drying rack (no dryer) and an awesome view. Our only problem was getting a wee bit chilly at night. There were no extra blankets and the heat was turned off with the owner not responding for 24 hours after multiple attempts to contact. He did turn the heat on for a few hours during the day while we were out but it was off again that night. Shouldn't be a problem if you are touring in the summer. Otherwise I totally recommend.

Perfect location!

Edinburgh is a very walkable city and this apartment is convenient to all the sights. The entrance is down a close (alley) off the Royal Mile and the view from the common area is onto the Royal Mile. The layout was excellent for two couples. One bedroom was off the common area and the second was separated with a doorway down a hallway. Really beautifully refinished and very spacious feeling for the square footage. I believe there are 3 units in the building and this is on the second level. You will feel that you’re in a turret as the stairs circle upwards. Really adds to the ambiance!

Fabulous Location in Historic Building

We were in awe of being right in the heart of the Royal Mile but with all of the conveniences of the modern day. Paul was extremely communicative and accommodating of our family’s needs. We would definitely recommend his lovely apartment.

Royal Mile

Wonderful flat in a super location. Walk out your door into the historic Royal Mile. Only drawback to being in the thick of everything is that it can be a bit noisy in the evening if the crowds are boisterous. Directions for locating and entering the flat were perfect and everything went smoothly. Thank you for a wonderful week!

Great two bedroom apartment at the top of Royal Mile. Old world charm throughout apartment. Ideal location for sightseeing and getting to know Edinburgh. Plenty of restaurants and shopping just outside your doorway. Lots of historical landmarks within steps of the apartment. Would definately book this apartment again if ever in Edinburgh.
