Right in the middle of Edinburgh's New Town, this studio apartment puts George Street and Princes Street within a five-minute walk and Edinburgh Castle just ten minutes on foot. The city's most iconic sights are yours to explore without ever hailing a cab – perfect if you plan to spend most of your days out and about. Back at the apartment, a dedicated desk makes it easy to squeeze in a few hours of work, and a bed tucked away from the living space means a proper rest after a long day of sightseeing.

Home truths
The apartment is on the first floor and there is no lift in the building, so you'll need to manage the stairs with your luggage on arrival and departure.
Entry is via a digital key on your phone – make sure your mobile is charged before heading out for the day, as you'll need it to get back in.
The area is lively – you can expect some noise in the evenings from nearby bars and early mornings from refuse collections in the lane. It's the trade-off for being right in the centre of things.
Please note that this home is equipped with a sensor that monitors smoke, decibel levels, and occupancy. It's camera-free and doesn't record sound or store personal data.

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...
