Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This apartment is all about the location for us. Set in the New Town of Edinburgh, many of the city’s key attractions are within walking distance, making it a perfect base for those keen to drop off their bags and head out to explore. Ideally suited to a couple, this fuss-free home has everything needed for a comfortable stay and eateries and shops on its doorstep. Just bear in mind that there’s no lift here, so you’ll need to be able to navigate some stairs to reach this lower ground-floor level home.

Local guide
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...
