We love visiting Edinburgh, with its history, culture and abundance of great dining-out options. This apartment makes for an excellent home-from-home for friends or family visiting the city. It can be found outside of the centre, close to Gorgie, and has superb transport links. The bus stop is two minutes away, and it takes just nineteen minutes to reach Princes Street. From there you can explore Edinburgh’s Old and New Town, visiting galleries and shopping. There’s plenty to see and do closer to home too, with the Saughton Rose Gardens a seven-minute walk away, and the Water of Leith eight minutes away on foot. Sports fans will enjoy the proximity to Tynecastle – home of the Hearts – and easy access to Murrayfield. The apartment is bright, warm and welcoming. The dining table is ideal for sharing meals together, and playing board games on cosy nights in. We love the living area, which is comfortable and stylish. This is exactly the kind of apartment you want to call home when visiting a new city.

About Edinburgh
Edinburgh is a Jekyll and Hyde city. By day you can stroll the wide, leafy boulevards of the Georgian New Town, home to fine dining restaurants, art galleries and trendy coffee shops. By night, a dark past of grave-robbery, underground streets and witchcraft flickers to life in the Old Town as ghost walks wend their way down narrow snickleways. The Royal Mile cuts the city in half like a river,...
