About this property
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.

The landlady managed it perfectly and we had a supe stay. Within walking distance of the city centre, this is an ideal location. We enjoyed it very much!
We enjoyed our stay here while in Edinburgh. The apartment was easy to get into and exactly as described. We had plenty of space and having two bathrooms was wonderful.The area was quiet and shopping was a short walk away.It was close to everything we wanted to see. The Royal Mile. Arthur's Seat. Edinburgh Castle, art galleries and more.
Excellent communication with Sam, responded quickly to our questions, and provided documentation. Great location to all sites we planned to see. Very nice upgrade to en suite. Parking available - remember to register via QR code daily. Thank you for the use of your accommodation.
Lovely apartment with everything you could need for a holiday in this lovely city. Convenient car parking just outside the door. 10 minute walk to town and tram stop just around the corner...so convenient if coming from the airport.
The property met our needs and the location was good to access areas in the city. The check in process required contacting the host to resolve issues with the parking permit. Areas of improvement, need hooks for clothes in the bathrooms and the beds were small. There was staining in one bedroom's carpet and couch.
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.
We loved having the feel of being in a home after so many nights with 3 of us in hotel rooms. The location was fantastic for walking most places we were going. It was so great being able to cook breakfast and do a load of laundry at the last few days of our trip. The people we met in the neighborhood were so nice and the owner answered the phone quickly with offering help.
Exactly as described: lovely apartment in a residential area, just a short walk to restaurants and transit. Communication with the host was easy and pleasant. I absolutely recommend this for your stay in Edinburgh.
We stayed as part of our trip around the UK. The apartment was very close to the tram and an easy walk around Edinburgh. Sam provided a great book with instructions on everything about the place.
Very clean. Decent Internet. All in all, great stay. Thanks!
Great Location, Easy Parking, Easy Walk to Leith Walk
Great location with large parking area. First floor with easy access. Very quiet at night. Site description 100% accurate. Many restaurants, shops, and pubs within walking distance. Uber to Royal Mile £8-£20 depending on time of day. Owner was very responsive and accommodating.
The location was good- very convenient to the bus and tram (and even a stop on a hop on/off greater area tour). You could also walk easily most anywhere. There are also several grocery store options nearby and the kitchen is well equipped. It was great for our family as there were two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The beds are firm so you might want to take that into consideration if you prefer a soft mattress. Overall an enjoyable stay.
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.
This is a wonderful little apartment. Great location! Great communication with host. Kitchen is set up well. Only knocked it down a bit because the bedroom carpets weren’t very clean and the beds not comfortable. Easy fix! I’m sure it’ll be the perfect place for the next guests!
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.
We stayed over Christmas with my partner’s sister and elderly mother, and this ground floor apartment was perfect.
Prior to arrival, we received detailed notes about how to find the apartment and how to access it - all were very easy to follow instructions. This continued when we entered and were presented with the ‘Welcome Book’. This has all the information we could possibly need during our stay.
The location of the property was perfect too; it was close enough to the city centre that we could have a leisurely stroll to the shops when needed, but also far enough out that we were away from the hustle and bustle over the busy Christmas period.
Lovely stay in this apartment, beds were extremely comfortable and had everything there we needed, plus excellent location and sunshine! We would definitely stay again when visiting Edinburgh!
