Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A stone's throw from Princes Street Gardens, this New Town apartment puts you at the heart of one of the city's most celebrated neighbourhoods. The Scott Monument, the Royal Mile, and Edinburgh Castle are all within a fifteen-minute walk, making it an ideal base for exploring on foot. Back at the studio apartment, the space may be compact, but the smart layout ensures it never feels too cramped. The dining table doubles as a desk if you need to keep on top of work between adventures, too. Just keep in mind that it's on the second floor without a lift – but in this location, we think that's a fair trade.

Home truths
You'll reach the apartment via two flights of narrow, steep stairs – there's no lift and about 40 stairs. It's worth bearing in mind if you have heavy luggage or limited mobility.
The building entrance sits in a back lane off the main street. It can feel a little unexpected on arrival, but it's easy to find with the detailed instructions your host provides.
Given the central New Town location, some street noise – particularly on weekend evenings – is part of the deal. The apartment comes with earplugs if you need them.
The double bed is on the compact side for two adults.
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...
