Quiet but close to City Centre. Free parking & 2 bathrooms (one newly replaced)

This attractive apartment provides the best of both worlds; it is within walking distance of Edinburgh City Centre, but is situated in a quiet location with the added benefit of a parking space. With Princes Street and the City Centre only a short walk, you can easily be at the heart of Edinburgh’s shopping, historic and cultural district. For nightlife, the apartment offers convenient access to popular bars and restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets. And when you want a break from the bustle and excitement of the city, the peaceful Royal Botanic Gardens are within walking distance (approx. 15 mins), as are excellent transport connections to out of town attractions. The apartment itself contains two bedrooms (one double and one twin, both with new mattresses from January 2024), one with en-suite facilities. The lounge / dining area open out onto a small patio area, for which a table and chairs are provided.

There is a car park for the development which guests are to use. It is free subject to guests entering the vehicle details into the parking system. There is not an allocated spot, but we have never struggled to find a space.

Beautiful property

The apartment was very clean and well-stocked for our 10 day visit. Near public transit and shopping with easy access to busses and the Edinburgh tram. The free parking was a huge bonus. I would highly recommend and use again.

Home away from home.

The apartment was larger than we thought. Plenty of space for our little one to play. The layout of the apartment meant that whoever was cooking in the kitchen, was not excluded from the conversations taking place in the living room. Apartment conveniently situated walking distance from attractions and shops.

Well located comfortable apartment

The apartment is well located just off Leith Walk and within easy walking (or bus or tram) distance of both Edinburgh centre and Leith. The beds are comfortable and there is plenty of storage. Whilst not designated for disabled people it is all on one lever and ground floor and easily negotiated with a walker. the owners are really helpful and gave us full instruction on how to reach the apartment and how to use everything in it! The only thing I'd suggest is a few more leaflets on places to see, though as ex Edinburgh residents we were OK on that! Thanks to Sam and family for an enjoyable stay.

This is a clean, well maintained flat close to downtown Edinburgh.

The flat is well maintained, clean and quiet. The appliances are first rate and all the supplies were readily at hand. The furnishings are from IKEA which has good and not so good points. The bed was very firm, for example. Having two bathrooms was a nice feature especially when travelling with others (or teenagers). The owner has provided a good orientation book and previous guests have created a rack of brochures/references for others to use. The flat is walking distance (20-25 minutes) to Princes Street and easy access to Edinburgh's good transit system.

Spacious, Quiet and Comfortable

We very much enjoyed our time. The apartment was spacious for our 4 adults and had every amenity. Communication was excellent. It was a little far to walk from Waverly Station with luggage, so I would recommend and UBER for that, but easy to walk to Old Town without luggage. Make sure you eat at Momma Roma's italian. and make a reservation.

First night was very cold because the heating was not funcioning. The photo's on internet looked better then in reallity. This apartment is outdated and needs an renovation (except 1 bathroom) The rent was to high for this apartment. I think a fair price would be between 150 and 200 pounds per day as maximum.
