Perched on George IV Bridge with Edinburgh Castle a ten-minute walk up the Royal Mile, this elegant apartment places you at the very centre of the Old Town. Dual-aspect windows pull the city's historic rooflines right into the living room – particularly striking over a morning coffee. A dedicated workspace makes it equally suited to remote workers, while Victoria Street and the Grassmarket are moments away, meaning excellent restaurants and independent shops are yours without so much as hailing a cab.

Home truths
Despite sitting on a busy city-centre street, the apartment is notably quiet inside – so you're well placed to sleep well even after a late night out in the Old Town.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a travel cot and high chair. It's worth requesting these in advance so everything is ready on arrival.
There's only one bathroom here between up to four guests, so it's worth factoring that into your morning routine if you're heading out at the same time.
Edinburgh's Old Town is best explored on foot, and this apartment puts you right in the thick of it – but if you're planning to drive, parking in the city centre is limited and we recommend using a car park or public transport instead.

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.
