OUT & ABOUT
Only a 5 minute walk to the City Centre, where you can explore all the historic attractions Edinburgh has to offer.

🏰 Edinburgh Castle
Perched atop ancient volcanic rock, Edinburgh Castle is Scotland’s most iconic fortress. Highlights include the Royal Palace with the Crown Jewels, the medieval St Margaret’s Chapel, and the daily firing of the One O’Clock Gun. Guided tours offer rich historical context amidst panoramic city views.

🎭 The Royal Mile and Old Town
This historic stretch links the Castle to Holyrood Palace, weaving through medieval closes, St Giles’ Cathedral, the Real Mary King’s Close, and independent shops and cafés. It’s the city’s beating heart, offering a deep dive into Edinburgh’s medieval past.

🏛️ Palace of Holyroodhouse & Holyrood Abbey
At the eastern end of the Royal Mile stands the official Scottish residence of the monarchy. Visitors can tour Mary Queen of Scots’ chambers, the elegant State Apartments, and the ruins of the 12th‑century abbey.

🌋 Arthur’s Seat & Salisbury Crags
This extinct volcano in Holyrood Park offers an accessible hike with stunning panoramic vistas of the city and Firth of Forth. The neighbouring Salisbury Crags add dramatic cliffside appeal.

🥃 The Scotch Whisky Experience
Located near Castlehill, this immersive tour guides visitors through Scotland’s whisky-making tradition, complete with tastings and a ride through the production process.

🌿 Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (Free)
A serene 72-acre oasis founded in 1670. Wander through themed gardens—Rock, Chinese Hillside, Native Plant collections—then enjoy refreshments at the riverside café.

🎉 Festivals & Events
Edinburgh erupts with culture, particularly in August: Fringe, Book Festival, and the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo at the Castle Esplanade. Year-round, catch choral services, theatre at the Playhouse/New Theatre, and concerts at the Usher Hall.

Guests will have the entire apartment to themselves.

Guests have full access to the entire flat, including the living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. The flat is located on the 3rd Floor. Due to the age of the building there is no list access and around 40 steps to climb.

  • Tabatha Watters 23/12/2024
    If you find this flat open for rent you best grab it!!!!! It’s literally in a safe spot just around the corner where it all is at, faces a square of very nice neighbors. Bed was comfy as was the sofa bed and that’s hard to find. Never ran out of hot water and there are a few stairs but if I can get up and down them anyone can it’s only I think 25 or so and straight forward sturdy with rail. So while others on the street are still partying u can’t hear them bc you sound asleep. We will be back 2026 to the next Fringe!!! ... Read full reviewClose

    Missed opportunities. We were unfortunately not able to stay.. We had trouble accessing the property and finding parking - there was no described or available parking within walking distance of the property - and when we tried to contact the property no one replied to us. We reached out through the number provided via text and also through the Booking.com platform. We finally drove away and stayed somewhere else that night. When we did reach someone through the booking.com platform (a third party) we asked them to liaise with the host to see what could be done and then never received a follow-up. We would strongly suggest directional and detailed parking guidance and access guidance in future. ... Read full reviewClose

    Juste l emplacement car à 3mns de Royal Miles. Décus du Logement, vu le tarif très cher, nous nous attendions à un logement de meilleure qualité. Des sdf sont dans la cour, du bruit la nuit, l accès et la cage d escalier ne sont pas propres. La literie du canapé est dure et les taies d oreillers n étaient pas lavées. La porte de la chambre avait deux gros trous. 340euros/nuit, à ce prix j irais à l hôtel la prochaine fois. J ai demandé un dédommagement au propriétaire en vain... ... Read full reviewClose

    Helt ok för en weekend i Edinburgh, rent och fräscht med goda möjligheter att göra egen mat/frukost. Inget överdådigt men inget dåligt heller. Fyllde definitivt funktionen vi var ute efter. Rekommenderas.. Lite kallt i lägenheten. Ingen mörkläggningsgardin i vardagsrummet där bäddsoffan stod. ... Read full reviewClose

    Ottima. Centralissimo , ben collegato, accogliente. Ambiente silenzioso in contesto residenziale. I vicoletti adiacenti permettono di raggiungere in tre minuti a piedi la royal mile , negozi e centri commerciali, tipo tesco.. La camera col divano letto, non ha una tenda oscurante. La mattina entra tantissima luce e ti svegli presto. Attaccapanni attaccato solo con nastro adesivo al muro. ... Read full reviewClose
