Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This traditional home is in a great location in the West End of Edinburgh, just a five-minute walk to Princes Street. It’s tucked away on a quiet street close to the action, so you’ll have the best of both worlds. The decor won’t be to everyone’s taste as it’s slightly dated, but if you’re simply seeking a restful base for your visit, we think this home will do the trick. You’ll have your own garden to unwind in, as well as a parking space.
