Sitting on George Street in the heart of Edinburgh's New Town, this apartment puts you within easy walking distance of the city's best – Edinburgh Castle is ten minutes on foot, the Scottish National Gallery is a little closer, and Princes Street is just around the corner. Inside, the Georgian bones do the talking. Both the living area and the main bedroom retain their original fireplaces – it makes the climb up flights of stairs worth the trek. With a sleek kitchen, light-filled living area, and plenty of space to stretch out, it ticks all the boxes for a city getaway.

Home truths
The apartment is on the second floor with two flights of steep stairs and no lift – it won't suit those with limited mobility.
George Street is a lively city-centre location, so expect some noise from an adjacent club on weekend nights. If you're a light sleeper, it's worth packing earplugs – especially for weekend stays.
Keys are collected from a nearby shop on Frederick Street, about a three-minute walk from the apartment. It's worth checking the opening hours before you travel so you can time your arrival accordingly.
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.
Kindly note that you may experience some disruption and see some scaffolding and workers in the area due to urgent masonry repairs to a neighbouring building.

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...
