Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Few apartments put you this close to Edinburgh Castle – and this one faces it head-on, with direct views from the living room that are hard to beat. The herringbone-floored living space is calm and light-filled, equally well-suited to working from your laptop or settling in for a slow evening. Step outside and the Grassmarket is right on your doorstep – one of Edinburgh's most characterful neighbourhoods, with pubs, restaurants, and independent shops lining the streets just below the castle walls.

Home truths
The apartment is on the third floor and accessed by stairs only – there's no lift. If you're travelling with heavy luggage, it's worth packing light or planning for a bit of a climb.
There's no dedicated parking here, and street parking in central Edinburgh can be tricky. If you're driving, we recommend checking the nearby paid car parks in advance – everything you're likely to need is easily walkable from the door.
Although you're right in the heart of the city, soundproofing helps keep things peaceful indoors.
There are exterior security cameras and noise decibel monitoring devices here. No sound or conversations are recorded.

About Old Town
Perched on top of an extinct volcano, the iconic Edinburgh Castle forms the main focal point of the city. The Royal Mile runs (for just over a mile) from the Castle down to Holyrood Palace – the Queen’s official Scottish residence.
