Edinburgh locations don’t get much better than this. Situated on one of the city’s most prestigious streets, this loft-style studio boasts views of Edinburgh Castle, and is within strolling distance of the castle and the Old Town. Plus, you’ve got the New Town’s best bars and restaurants on the doorstep. While the home is in the heart of the city, it’s remarkably quiet, thanks to secondary double glazing. And after a busy day exploring the capital, the open-plan living area, with its high ceilings and oversized sofa, is the perfect place to relax. We think this city pad is a great choice for a couple or solo traveller seeking a central spot.

Local guide
About New Town
Edinburgh’s New Town isn’t new at all – it’s a glorious example of 18th-century Georgian town planning and architecture that has rightfully earned its UNESCO World Heritage Status. There’s a lot more than beautiful architecture on offer here though. Located in the centre of the city, it’s a short walk from Waverley Station, and well serviced by public transport. Princes Street, George Street, St Andrew’s Square, and the West End...
