About this property
Luxury central Edinburgh with stunning views of castle!
Location, location, location!
The Robert Louis Stevenson Suite is a luxury apartment with unprecedented views of Edinburgh Castle. Located just 2 minutes from the iconic Princes St on the corner of George St (lots of shopping, bars and restaurants) and North Castle St, the apartment is in the heart of the New Town, making it an ideal base for visiting all the main tourist sites of Edinburgh.
The apartment block was one of the first flats to be built in the New Town by James Craig in 1790 and sits directly adjacent to the Edinburgh town house of Sir Walter Scott! For the sake of clarity, the apartment is located on the first floor of the building and from street level there are approx 20 steps (no elevator as one of the first buildings to be erected in "The new Town" and is a listed building). The steps are more gradual and winding than steep and vertical.
The flat opens into a square reception hall providing access to all rooms. To the front of the flat and with a southerly aspect from its twin windows is a magnificent drawing room featuring a gas fire with iron grate and pretty timber mantle, dado paneling and delicate plaster work. A glazed door provides secondary access from the drawing room into a striking breakfasting kitchen fitted with an attractive range of painted timber units topped with thick granite surfaces and incorporating a full range of integrated appliances, including a recessed range cooker set, oven/grill, and microwave as well as a washing machine and full height fridge/freezer. The bedrooms comprise a generously proportioned master bedroom with a king size bed and dual aspect views towards Edinburgh Castle. This bedroom features secondary double glazing and also benefits from a luxurious en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is set up with twin beds (can be pushed together to form a double on request) and is served by an equally well fitted family bathroom off the hall. Larger parties can enquire about our apartment in the same building - The Walter Scott Suite ( same building below this one on the first floor), has the same high spec and stunning views of Edinburgh Castle. Combined, both properties can accommodate up to 8 / 10 people comfortably. It has the same stunning views of Edinburgh Castle and can be made available by special request.

The Flat was exactly as described and all amenities were provided. I have no complaints on this unit and would definitely use it again when visiting Edinburgh. The best thing is that everything is pretty much in walking distance and all the variety of pubs and restaurants to choose from. I want to thank Morris for opening his place for others to enjoy what Edinburgh offers.

awesome location. lovely apartment. roomy and had everything we needed.
This flat was absolutely perfect! Spacious, fantastic location, an incredible views of Edinburgh Castle. We will be staying here again. Morris was also incredibly helpful and friendly.
Lovely apartment, great location. Earplugs are necessary for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights during The Fringe due to the proximity of the late bar. Will book again if we go back
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! Great location! Love that it was right above a pub but far enough away that we didn’t have any noise issues. Was fun to go walk down the stairs and get a cocktail each evening.
Really great property. Tons of space, character, charm and amenities. Location was ideal. We were only here for two nights but my family wished we could have stayed longer and chilled here more. Would stay here again.
We loved our stay. Easy to walk every where from this property. View of castle was a bonus. Great restaurants a few steps from the front door. Thanks for a great stay.
The property was close to the areas of Edinbugh we wanted to see. The place was clean and everything was as expected. We would definitely stay here again. Just great!
Stayed with my husband and adult son for 5 days, we were in Edinburgh for a wedding. Apartment was large and well appointed, even had an ironing board for our our formal attire that traveled in a suitcase. Easy walk to all the shops, restaurants, Old Town, the location couldn't be beat. I hadn't received detailed check-in instructions by the time we got there, but owner was immediately responsive to our texts and got us in quickly. I would definitely stay again!
This is a great apartment in that it is spacious, 2 full bathrooms, a large lounge with functioning fireplace, and a spacious kitchen. It’s very comfortable and walking distance to all the main sights of Edinburgh.
The host was extremely helpful and was a great communicator. We had a wonderful time in the city and beyond. The location is perfect and the online pictures are accurate. Recommend highly.
Great spot. Property worked well for our family of 5. Nice modest property. Great view. If you’re looking for nice modest accommodation then this is perfect! I would stay here again. Thank you for the stay.
Nice neighborhood with restaurants, pubs and shopping
It was our first visit to Edinburgh and the accommodation was close to Edinburgh castle, museums, the tram and Waverly Train station. Perfect for our visit.
The flat had a large living room, two bathrooms, a modern kitchen and a quiet bedroom that met our needs.
Overall, a nice place to stay.
This was such a charming rental! Easy check in process. Walking distance to everything with a view of the castle. The kitchen was appointed with everything we needed. We tend to judge rentals we stay in based on two things 1) that there are enough couches and chairs for our family to be able to sit and relax. The sitting room was huge with room to spread out. 2) that the beds/pillows are comfortable. There was soft, cozy bedding. The host was friendly, responsive, and made some wonderful suggestions for places to eat and the best options for parking. There was even a folder in the apartment with detailed information on the area and the unit. We would absolutely stay here again!!
The location of this historic property could not have been any more central to the major visitor destinations in Edinburgh. The spacious flat was a great fit for our family of four (two adults and two older teenagers).
Beautiful property, spacious and warm. Felt very at home, easy access to transportation. Wonderful location, upstairs apartment was worried about water leak, contacted host about concern quick response.
Great location and spacious for two couples. Enjoyed convenience and access to city transportation so we didn't have to hire too many taxis. Place was clean and perfect for our visit. Nancy and friends.
This property was perfect. The washer and dryer was small and did take a long time but it was much appreciated after traveling for a week. The location was perfect you could see Edinburgh castle right outside the window. We would definitely stay here again. At night you could hear passerbyers talking but it wasn’t too bad, my husband and I didn’t have any issues sleeping,
This was our second stay in this unit and we loved it both times! Owner is helpful and responsive. Stairs up to the first floor were very manageable with our small bags. Location is perfectly central for so many areas and and easy walk to both the bus station and Waverley train. We hope to come back!
Great apartment in a fantastic location! Restaurants, pubs, grocery store and shopping all close by within walking distance and stunning views of the castle. Morris was very accommodating to our requests and we had great communication. Apartment was lovely and had all of the necessities needed. We can't thank you enough for making me and my son's stay amazing. Thank you Morris for a lovely stay!
Very comfortable apartment in the most convenient area
We really enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. The beds were comfy. The living room is spacious. The location is fantastic.
We walked everywhere but if you need a taxi they come when scheduled via the number left at the flat. The host was amazingly prompt in messaging at the beginning of our stay when we needed a bit of help. We recommend this rental highly!
Flat was very spacious and comfortable. The host provided a helpful how-to-guide which was very useful though coming from the U.S. we did have to figure out how to power on the refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher which were without power when we arrived. Despite the cool, rainy weather we had a great stay and would consider again if we come back to Edinburgh.
