Set in the heart of Edinburgh's New Town, this compact studio puts George Street and Princes Street a five-minute walk away, while Edinburgh Castle is a leisurely ten-minute stroll. Back inside, the velvet sofa and separate sleeping area make it easy to decompress after a day exploring. Just note that it's on the third floor without a lift, so expect to climb quite a few stairs here. The payoff? A peaceful city-centre base with the city's best bits within easy reach.

Home truths

  • The apartment is on the third floor with no lift, and the staircase is fairly tight – so pack light if you can, and bear it in mind if you have mobility considerations.

  • The apartment sits on a lively city-centre street, so expect noise from nearby bars and late-night bin collections. Light sleepers may want to bring earplugs.

  • The entrance to the building is tucked behind nearby restaurants where bins are kept, so the approach can feel a little rough around the edges – the apartment itself is clean and well presented once you're inside.

  • 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...
