Description

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Directly on the Royal Mile — watch Edinburgh's famous street from your lounge window. Castle-bound tourists, pipe bands, and during August, the Fringe festival buzzing beneath you. Unbeatable views, unbeatable location. 2 bedrooms (king + twin), sleeps 4. Freshly refurbished, historic apartment. Smart TV, fast WiFi, washing machine. Edinburgh Castle 3 mins. Holyrood 10 mins. Waverley 7 mins. You are at the heart of it all, nothing beats this. The space Sit above Edinburgh's most famous street and watch the city come alive beneath you. This beautifully refurbished first-floor apartment sits directly on the Royal Mile — not near it, not a short walk from it. On it. The lounge's two large windows frame a live theatre of Edinburgh life: castle-bound tourists, street performers, pipe bands, and during August, the greatest show on earth. The Space : The apartment sleeps four across two bedrooms: a king-size double and a twin room, both freshly refurbished with quality linens. The comfortable lounge has a large sofa, armchairs, dining table and a smart TV. The compact kitchen has everything you need: fridge, microwave, hob, kettle, toaster, and a washing machine — ideal for longer stays. The bathroom has a walk-in shower. The Location : Edinburgh Castle is a 3-minute walk to the left. St Giles Cathedral is literally on your doorstep and Holyrood Palace is a 10-minute stroll downhill to the right. The Scottish Parliament, National Museum of Scotland, Waverley Station and the tram to the airport are all within easy reach on foot. Princes Street and the New Town are a gentle 8-minute stroll away. You are, quite simply, at the centre of everything. During the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August, this apartment becomes one of the most extraordinary places in the city — you can watch the street performers from your sofa. Guest access Guest will have access to the whole property. Other things to note * CHECK IN/OUT * Standard check in is from 3PM and check out is before 10am * HOW DO I GET KEYS * Keys can be securely picked up from a neighbouring business so no direct contact with the host is necessary * SUITABILITY FOR VERY YOUNG CHILDREN * As there are some steps within the historic property, we would advise that older children are fine but we do not believe the property is suitable for young toddlers. * TREAT IT LIKE A HOME FROM HOME * Strictly no Smoking within the property and no parties or events The property will be thoroughly cleaned and all linens and towels changed before every guest arrives. * COMING WITH A CAR * If coming with a car, you should park in the NCP long stay car park at Castle Terrace behind the Castle as Edinburgh is expensive to park on the street in the city center or in the Radisson Hotel car park in Blackfriars Street, a short stroll away. * WHAT IF I LOCK MYSELF OUT * We do hope not but if happens we will be on hand to replace or give you spare keys to get back in. Please note there will be a £150 fee for any lost keys and £60 if we have to meet to give you a spare set. * EDINBURGH VISITOR LEVY * Prices Listed for July 24 2026 onwards include Edinburgh Council's new 5% visitor levy We look forward to welcoming you.
