About this property

Royal Mile Tenement Flat Retreat

  • The perfect location for travellers to stay! Traditional Scottish tenement building! Preserving original architectural details! Modern, luxurious, and comfortable interior design! The apartment is in a listed building in the conservative area of the historic old town. The Royal Mile is only a one-minute walk away, and Edinburgh’s Waverley train station is a five-minute walk.
    Our beloved home has been renovated and decorated in contemporary style, it features ceiling roses and other original details, alongside designer furniture and top-of-the-range fixtures and fittings. There are 2 bedrooms in the flat, 1 king bed and 1 single bed. It's ideal for one family as the small bedroom is quite small and be aware it has to be accessed through the large bedroom.
    The bathroom and kitchen units and fittings are top brands: Hansgrohe, Blanco, Ideal Standard, Geberit, Crosswater, Grohe.
    All the appliances such as washing machine, heat pump condenser dryer, TV, hob, oven and fridge are top brands: Smeg, Samsung. Furniture is well-made and stylish designer solid wooden pieces instead of MDF products. Luxury 22mm premium wooden floor was installed in the living room, bedrooms, and hallway. BG Master plug Brushed Steel Double Switched Socket with USB Outlets were installed everywhere so that you don't need any charger.

    As I mentioned, the flat is in the best location, only 1 min walk from the famous busy Royal Mile. Luckily, our flat is located on the side street and we believe that a quiet space is essential for our guests, so we spent more than £4000 to install a secondary glazing - Heritage Hinged Units, glazed with 6.4mm acoustic glass, which significantly reduced the noise.

This property was really nice and convenient, close to everything and very accommodating for our 3 adults, smaller bed was super comfy, the only thing i wish i had known was that the 2nd bed was in a closet, you have to go through main room to get to it, and the floor was so noisy when you walk on it, and you can hear when everyone comes in and out of the building. The bathroom was really nice the only downside was the shower has a tub that's really high, you have to climb into and out of, falling hazard. But great water pressure, they had extra shower items for us and nice aesthetic. Nice cozy living room with a kitchen just right for 3 people. This place had everything we needed for our week trip. would rent again. communication with host was great as well.

A beautiful space in a great location, just off the main road. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. It was a good size for us - a couple travelling with our adult daughter. The second bedroom is a single bed and you access it from the main bedroom. Shu was very accommodating and quick to answer any questions we had.

The location of this property is unbeatable. It is mins away from literally everything. For example we went to the National Museum of Scotland in the morning which is 10 mins away. We could pop back for lunch and a nap and then go back again. We found the two restaurants on the same street were top notch and reasonably priced. Both require reservations. We found everything we needed. I forgot the bring an umbrella and asked the host to borrow one. Beware that the second bedroom has a twin bed and you need to walk through the main bedroom to get to it. It is perfect for a couple with kids or close relatives who you don’t mind walking through your bedroom to the bedroom at night. The unit is located one level above ground. There is a set of stairs case that may be a challenge for some. The street and the common area isn’t spotless. As it is in the old town.

Central location in old Edinburgh— convenient access to restaurants, grocery stores, and Edinburgh Castle is only a twelve-minute walk away. The host is very kind and responsive. Flat is in an older building with its unique charm. It is walkable from the train station to the flat, about 12-15 minutes. Choose the option without the city stairs (GPS will try to direct you to the steep stairs across the street from the station). You can go around by heading left when exiting the station curving around and towards the cobblestone street. Still uphill, but at least you can roll the luggage and not hurt your back up the stairs. There is a slightly narrow and curved staircase inside the building to get to the flat which is on the second floor, with no elevator. If you have a bigger-sized luggage it might pose a problem if you are alone. The flat was mostly clean. Certain areas like interior of the fridge, sofa covers/throw pillows, and shower faucets needed cleaning/wash/bleaching. The second bedroom is meant for people shorter than 5’2 (157 cm) or your feet will touch the wall. Beddings were comfortable. Flat was well stocked.
