Just a twenty-minute stroll from Old Town, this top-floor apartment puts the best of the Scottish capital within easy reach. Accessed only by stairs, it's ideal for those who don't mind a bit of a climb – but once inside, you'll find everything you need to feel at home. The lounge is ideal for winding down after sightseeing, while the compact kitchen has you covered for breakfasts and quick bites. With The Meadows nearby for picnics in the sunshine and Lothian Road's buzzing bars and eateries walkable in ten, we think this works best as a cosy base between adventures.

Home truths
This apartment is on the third floor of a building without a lift. It's only accessible by stairs, so it won't suit those with limited mobility or heavy luggage.
There's a bar down the street and a Thai restaurant next door, so expect to hear some noise from patrons during your stay.
Please note that there is ongoing construction next door, so some noise is to be expected during normal working hours (9am to 5pm).

Local guide
About Edinburgh
Edinburgh is a Jekyll and Hyde city. By day you can stroll the wide, leafy boulevards of the Georgian New Town, home to fine dining restaurants, art galleries and trendy coffee shops. By night, a dark past of grave-robbery, underground streets and witchcraft flickers to life in the Old Town as ghost walks wend their way down narrow snickleways. The Royal Mile cuts the city in half like a river,...
