A fantastic newly renovated 2 bedroom apartment in the heart of Edinburgh's City Centre just off the Royal Mile.

Set in one of Edinburgh's historic "Close", you will be sure to have a wonderful visit to the city in this top floor apartment in the bustling Royal Mile area.

This bright and airy top floor flat boasts incredible city views and the fresh design will have you feeling at home after a long day exploring Edinburgh.

The Space:
The large skylights flood the living area with lots of natural light, unusual to find in such a historic area of Edinburgh. There is a modern bright living space complete with all the amenities needed during your stay.

There are 2 comfortable bedrooms with a double and a twin, suitable for families and small friends groups and you are sure to love the unique "turret" shower room.

Please note there is no lift as this is a historic building, and the apartment is on the top floor but the views are totally worth it.

The apartment is located just off the famous Royal Mile. This historical location is a well established area with many excellent restaurants of the Old Town and nearby Grassmarket. This location is great as you are very close to all tourist attractions and its a short walk to Princes Street, George Street and The New Town. Princess Street and George street are the main shopping destinations of the city. You will not need to hire a car in this city central location. Both the train station and Airport are easily accessed from this location.

Very convenient in-town spot. Right in the heart of the tourist trap, with both train and grocery store just 2 blocks away. Clean with essential amenities.

The apartment was great for our family…clean, comfortable and very central to attractions to old town Edinburgh. Be prepared for ascending 7 flights of stairs to get to the apartment. Others have commented about the noise but that was not an issue for us…we expect some noise in a city. Overall great place and good value for the location.

The flat initially appeared clean when we arrived, however we quickly noticed the floors were very dirty based on how quickly our white socks became…not white. Then on our last day we saw a mouse in the kitchen THREE times — I tried requesting a trap to be set and the host was unable to accommodate. We would not stay again or recommend to others because of hygiene/cleanliness concerns and the lackluster response from the host (most communication seemed to be a bot). The location is also not quiet as it is in an alleyway. We had sound machines so this did not bother us, but certainly would have without proper preparation. As mentioned in the title, the location directly on the Royal Mile is really nice and the only reason I’m leaving more than 1 star.

Check in instructions very detailed. Location perfect for a short trip to the Fringe, but it’s definitely not quiet - the drunks in the alley is one thing but one bedroom and the living room back directly onto the extractors of a pub or restaurant, which means a constant throb at all times. Apartment was largely clean apart from the sink, which was full of crumbs. Temperature dial in the shower also needs the grub screw tightening. Overall a bit disappointing given the price of the apartment.

Sauber, gut und modern eingerichtete Wohnung. Alles Notwendige ist vorhanden. Undichte zugige Fenster liegen wohl am britischen Baustil (Jammern auf hohem Niveau!)

I’ll preface this by saying that the following things are not the owners’ fault, but I do think they could remove the word “quiet” from the listing because this place is not that. At night you can hear the drunks of Edinburgh shouting and screaming their way down the high street - unless you’re a deep sleeper, it’ll wake you up. During the day, there is currently a lot of construction going on around the city centre, which was an issue for us as it stopped our baby from being able to nap. On the positive - it’s an amazing location, and the flat is really smart and stylish. We enjoyed staying here with the exception to the noise. Definitely suits adults only!

Would absolutely stay there again. The alley was pretty dirty but can’t fault the host there. The location was amazing, the flat was immaculate and very comfortable, and the communication with the host was great.

Great Flat. Clean, great location easy walk from train station and right off Royal mile - in the heart of old town. Very good communication from host. Nice amenities in unit, nothing else needed or requested during stay. As listed in posting, you climb several floors of steps to access unit - not recommended for elderly or those with knee / health issues. Highly recommended and would book again. Edinburgh was amazing!
