A stone's throw from Princes Street, Calton Hill, the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Waverley Station, this apartment places you in one of the city's most desirable neighbourhoods. Inside, the style is sleek and serene, with an open-plan kitchen, living and dining room providing plenty of space for unwinding after a busy day. It's worth noting the apartment sits above a bar, so weekends can be a little noisier – but for a location this central, we think it's a fair trade.
