About this apartment rental
Welcome to your Edinburgh home!
This elegantly presented apartment features a bright, double-aspect living and dining area with stunning castle views. The iconic front windows overlook the legendary Elephant House café—the very place where J.K. Rowling penned the early Harry Potter stories!
Bedrooms: The spacious main bedroom faces Candlemaker Row and features a very comfortable double bed with ample furnishings. The second bedroom, though more compact, offers a full-sized double bed for ultimate comfort.
Kitchen & Bathroom: Modern kitchen, fully equipped with cooker, fridge/freezer, and washing machine/dryer combination. Contemporary bathroom with over-bath shower. Interiors: Beautiful maple hardwood floors throughout the entire apartment add warmth and character.
Enjoy your stay!
Note: The apartment's prime Old Town location means street noise is part of the authentic Edinburgh experience, especially during evenings and weekends.
Guests will have access to the entire home!
We are GuestReady, a property manager, and we want to ensure your stay will be as smooth and comfortable as possible. We are available 24/7 should you need any assistance during your stay. Kindly note that this is a personal home so please take good care of it as if it was your own.
The Grassmarket - and the whole of the Old Town itself - is absolutely teaming with a wonderful choice of every kind of restaurant, pub and cafe - you will never be spoiled for choice. The shopping choice could not be more interesting either - in the Old Town itself or only about 10/12 minutes walk from the world famous Princes Street with its wonderful mix of shops, attractions, galleriesand museums. A wide choice of buses is within a couple of minutes walk from the apartment.
AIRPORT LINK - runs from Waverley Bridge (beside train station) every 10 mins during daytime and 30 mins during night. Journey time 30 minutues.
CAR PARKING - due to the central location of the apartment there is no private parking. However, around the corner are on-street pay and display parking meters. For longer term parking NCP car park is 10 minutes walk away.
TRAIN
Approx 10 minutes walk to Waverley Train Station and Edinburgh Tram line on Princes Street.
BUS - approx 15 minutes walk to St Andrews Bus Station.
Local bus service takes you to the many fascinating sites - download the App called 'Transport for Edinburgh' which an excellent guide to all different areas of the City

8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
Great location, BAD check-in process. Property manager failed to provide us check-in details until I had to Google their number to call and ask them to send me the info. No info was found on their VRBO listing. They said they emailed me with details - the email in fact did not come with check-in details. Pretty stressful to deal with when you first enter into a new country. Once checked in, we did not hear from the property manager again. Otherwise, great location and a good accommodation.

Amazing stay

Probably the most interesting thing is the view out the back of the cemetery and walls of Greyfriars Kirk. Out the front are shops and bars to the left and the church and museum to the right. Best meal of our entire trip was in the restaurant Under the Stairs across the street - duck lasagna. Grocery store is a short walk. The hop-a-bus around the city is just down the street - very much recommend it. In other words, it's a perfect location. It looks far away on the map, but the castle and Royal Mile are just up the stairs. The apartment is well laid out and while small it is not cluttered nor crowded. We did well with two couples even sharing the bathroom. I have recommend it to a friend who is traveling to Edinburgh in a few weeks.
