Small but perfectly formed, this apartment is a great base in Edinburgh’s New Town. It’s just an eight-minute walk to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, and Princes Street Gardens are only thirteen minutes away. There are countless bars, cafes and eateries within walking distance, too. The open-plan living and dining space is compact but attractive, and you also have the bonus of a garden to spread out in. The free-standing bathtub is another treat, perfect if you’ve spent the day sightseeing and need to rest your feet.

About New Town
Edinburgh’s New Town isn’t new at all – it’s a glorious example of 18th-century Georgian town planning and architecture that has rightfully earned its UNESCO World Heritage Status. There’s a lot more than beautiful architecture on offer here though. Located in the centre of the city, it’s a short walk from Waverley Station, and well serviced by public transport. Princes Street, George Street, St Andrew’s Square, and the West End...
