About this apartment rental
Steeped in history, James Court was built in 1723 and has housed many notable figures in its lifetime. A stone archway leads to a fairy tale traditional spiral staircase which rises to this beautiful charming apartment - on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh's historic Old Town. The property itself is a fifth floor apartment laid out over two levels & joined by an inner spiral staircase. Elegantly furnished, with stunning views over the city, this will provide a dream stay in Edinburgh.
This is a fully licensed 5 bedroom apartment, with 3 bathrooms and a living room which can be used as a 6th sleeping area. The main living area is on the lower floor, as are all the bathrooms and 3 of the bedrooms. The property has a spacious kitchen and a dining area on this level. Upstairs there is another bedroom and a loft space, which serves as the final 5th bedroom.
Despite being right on the Royal Mile, a stone's throw from the Castle, it is a surprisingly quiet apartment.
The super king bed can be converted into two wide single beds if 10 beds are needed, but please notify me in advance if this is required.
You will be renting the entire apartment.
*One important thing to note: The flat is on the fifth floor, and there is no lift access. I can arrange for someone to meet you at the apartment to assist in carrying your luggage upstairs if required - it would be no problem at all, and this would be free of charge.*
Stag and hen parties welcome.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask :)

Excellent experience. Right on the main drag so walking was easy. Great communication with the host and all kinds of niceties already there. Really appreciated it!

We had 10 travelers in our party, and it was a challenge to find a single accommodation in Old Town near The Royal Mile. We were well aware of the 5th floor, the concrete steps to get there (98, I think) as well as the spiral staircase to the loft and additional bedroom. We accepted the challenge and overall it was manageable, even seemed like we were staying in a castle tower.The apartment was clean, and had some foods to help us on our arrival and breakfast. This place was extremely well located. I'd recommend it if you want to see Old Town and New Town and are up for a bit of stairs.Our host, Michelle was very helpful, communicative and accommodating.

I knew it was a 5 story walk up but what I didn't know is that 95 steps straight up a narrow spiral staircase. Not secure from the outside into the staircase as there was a homeless man and his dog hanging out in there. 2 of the bedrooms are up another spiral staircase without a bathroom. Unit itself was otherwise OK. Great location.
