Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked just below street level within a Georgian townhouse, this home is at the centre of Edinburgh’s New Town. You can stroll to popular Princes Street and George Street, and admire views of the city from nearby Calton Hill. The colourful kitchen/diner – perfect for a sociable meal after a busy day exploring the capital – forms the heart of this home. And from here, doors open directly onto a private patio – a rare find for apartments in this postcode. We think this place is perfect for a family or group of friends wanting a comfortable base with easy access to Edinburgh’s must-sees.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways.
