The Old Town is a bustling district filled with centuries-old buildings and narrow, winding alleys. At its centre, perched atop an extinct volcano, Edinburgh Castle houses Scotland’s Crown Jewels. The Royal Mile—a steep street lined with traditional pubs, casual eateries, souvenir shops, and small museums—stretches from the castle to the Scottish Parliament and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queen’s Scottish residence.

St Giles’ Cathedral impresses with its vaulted ceilings and ornate tombs, while the recently refurbished National Museum of Scotland on Chambers Street showcases a rich collection of rare and priceless artifacts. Beneath the city, Edinburgh’s vaults offer a glimpse into a forgotten subterranean world that once sheltered the city’s poor.

The Old Town is captivating year-round, but it truly comes alive in August, when street performers fill the streets and the area bursts with the sights and sounds of the Edinburgh Fringe and Festival.

My home is easily accessible by public transport.

- The nearest train station, Edinburgh Waverley is just 2-mins walk from the flat.
- You can also ride the city tram. The nearest tram stop, the Edinburgh Tram is 3-minute away on foot.

Edinburgh Airport is a 25 mins drive from the apartment.

A quick note for guests: Edinburgh has introduced a visitor levy (city tax) on all bookings starting from the 24th of July 2026 onwards. This tax will be included in the accommodation price.

Please note, there is scaffolding up around the outside of the building while maintenance work is carried out. This will not affect your stay.

This 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 anytime of the day as long as you respect our standard check-in time.

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

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

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 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).
