Tucked in Edinburgh’s historic centre, this apartment offers a cosy city sanctuary. It’s the perfect base for sightseeing with George Street just moments away and Edinburgh Castle less than fifteen-minutes away. You won’t have to go far to find incredible restaurants, cafes and bars, while the close proximity to Waverley Train Station means it’s easy to explore further afield. It’s worth noting there’s no lift in the building, but the apartment has everything you could need to relax, disconnect or catch up on work. There’s a small kitchen for prepping light bites and the open-plan layout is ideal for couples and solo travellers.

Home truths
Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
This home is located on the third floor with no lift available in the building. Please let your host know if you have reduced mobility – they may be able to offer one of the lower apartments.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
Complimentary toiletries are provided for your stay.

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...
