About this apartment rental
This holiday home is a bright one-bedroom apartment on the top floor (fourth floor, no lift/elevator) of an architecturally significant building (B-listed) with stunning views situated off the historic Royal Mile in the centre of Edinburgh. The apartment is within easy walking distance of the major tourist attractions, festival venues, shops, nightlife and transport connections. The apartment is light and airy and has views over the city rooftops. Unique to this building is the shared roof terrace, which is accessed from the top of the entrance stairway and which has spectacular panoramic views over the city, sea and hills.
With windows on two sides, the spacious living room is full of light and has attractive views of the Old Town, North Bridge and Calton Hill. There is a coal-effect gas fire and a comfortable dining area. The three-seater sofa converts in to a double sofabed, and there is a comfortable armchair and window seat. There is no TV at this property.
The modern kitchen is well provided with crockery, cutlery, glasses and kitchenware, as well as a washing machine, fridge, freezer, cooker and microwave. A pulley suspended from the hall ceiling is a traditional way of drying clothes.
The double bedroom is fully carpeted and attractively furnished. The bathroom is partly wood panelled and has a wash-hand basin and bathtub with shower over.
The apartment has gas central heating and double glazing. The price of gas, electricity and local taxes is included. For the comfort of future guests, the apartment is non-smoking and pets are not allowed.

This property is extremely well located with a very nice host and had the amenities we were looking for. I searched and searched for a place that was located near the main sights and the train station AND that had a washer. I promise you that you won't find a better price for that wish list. I do think it's important to keep in mind that this is really an incredible deal and you aren't booking the Ritz. Be sure to read the listing - yes there are stairs and no there isn't a TV. It's in quite an old, listed building so it's going to have it's quirks but the listing is very accurate We found the bathroom to be quite small with no storage and the mattress to be a bit warn, however I will say there have been some upgrades to the kitchen and bath since the pictures were taken so the owner is clearly taking care of and making updates to to the place. He was also very responsive to questions. Oh and the positive about being on the top floor is that it's only one flight up to the shared roof deck with lovely views. We watched the marathon runners go by from there. Very cool!

The apartment is as described in the listing. It is located on the fourth floor without an elevator, as specified in the listing. The apartment is very well located and fairly quiet, although you can hear partygoers on weekends, especially during the Fringe Festival, but this did not bother us. The apartment is fairly basic but clean and pleasant, even though there was a strange smell of “peat” or “wood smoke” hanging in the air all the time. The rooftop offers a beautiful view of the city. Communication with Martin was smooth. It's a bit expensive for what it is, but prices during the Fringe are high and you're also paying for the location. We had a great week, so I would recommend it.

The Apartment was just as described. Location is amazing, central to everywhere we wanted to go. Literally a 5 minute walk from the train station. It was up 4 flights of stairs but didn’t bother us in the least. We really appreciated the washer, and the drying rack hanging from the ceiling was genius! Thanks Matin for a great place to stay,

This property is conveniently adjacent to The Royal Mile. It should be noted that there are 79 stairs to get to the flat. We did not realize this when booking. My traveling partner is a bit older than I am and had a little difficulty with this. You should prepare to bring your own supplies. This is a self catering unit. There is one bed and a pull out couch. Pull out couches in general have thin mattresses and one should be aware of this. The flat was clean. There is a washing machine inside which is helpful. Martin was very attentive when responding to messages. I am impressed by his prompt attention to detail. Basic no frills flat with superb location.
