Waking up to Edinburgh Castle framed in your bedroom window is the kind of thing you don’t forget, and this Old Town studio delivers exactly that. Greyfriars Kirkyard sits just below, while the Royal Mile is a short stroll away – putting restaurants, whisky bars, and centuries of history within easy reach. Back at home, there’s space on the dining table for remote working, a comfortable lounge area for slower evenings in, and a sound system for setting the mood with a wee dram after a day exploring the city.

Home truths
The apartment is on the second floor and there is no lift, so you'll be carrying luggage up the stairs on arrival and departure.
You're in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, so some weekend night noise from nearby bars is possible.
There is no dedicated parking here, so we recommend arriving by public transport or taxi. Edinburgh's Old Town is best explored on foot, and the tram to Edinburgh Airport is within walking distance.
While there are no in-unit laundry facilities here, you will find communal washing machines and dryers within the building.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. Be sure to request them in advance so everything is set up on arrival.

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.
