Right across the street from Dunbars Close – a beautifully manicured 17th-century style park and garden – this bright apartment is as chic as it is comfortable. From its feature pendant lighting to its large leather sofa and floor-to-ceiling windows, there’s an air of industrial sleekness to this home that makes it feel instantly welcoming. We love the Crittall–style doors that lead to the first bedroom with its brewery-inspired wall art and the living room's cleverly concealed kitchenette that will make meal-prep feel like a Narnia-esque experience. You’ll relish starting mornings, too, in the colourful tiled bathrooms, where rainfall showers provide the ultimate luxury wake-up. When you’re not chilling out in your stylish pad or catching up on work at the bedroom's desk space, go out and explore the local area. You’re just a ten-minute walk from Calton Hill, a thirteen-minute stroll from Edinburgh Castle and a seven-minute amble from the shop-lined Royal Mile.

Edinburgh is a city built around seven hills, but Hillside is not as steep as the name suggests. At the east end of the New Town and nestled just below Calton Hill, it’s quieter than the historic centre but still within walking distance from all the main points of interest.
