Located in Edinburgh’s New Town, this apartment is an ideal base for those keen to stay in the heart of the city. Restaurants, cafes and bars are on the doorstep, and you’re no more than a fifteen-minute walk from Princess Street and the Royal Mile. The sash windows let in plenty of natural light, and the kitchen has everything you need for rustling up a full Scottish breakfast. Just so you’re aware, the third bedroom is on the smaller side, so it may be better suited for children.

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.
