About this apartment rental
Location, location, location!
The Robert Louis Stevenson Suite is a luxury apartment with unprecedented views of Edinburgh Castle. Located just 2 minutes from the iconic Princes St on the corner of George St (lots of shopping, bars and restaurants) and North Castle St, the apartment is in the heart of the New Town, making it an ideal base for visiting all the main tourist sites of Edinburgh.
The apartment block was one of the first flats to be built in the New Town by James Craig in 1790 and sits directly adjacent to the Edinburgh town house of Sir Walter Scott! For the sake of clarity, the apartment is located on the first floor of the building and from street level there are approx 20 steps (no elevator as one of the first buildings to be erected in "The new Town" and is a listed building). The steps are more gradual and winding than steep and vertical.
The flat opens into a square reception hall providing access to all rooms. To the front of the flat and with a southerly aspect from its twin windows is a magnificent drawing room featuring a gas fire with iron grate and pretty timber mantle, dado paneling and delicate plaster work. A glazed door provides secondary access from the drawing room into a striking breakfasting kitchen fitted with an attractive range of painted timber units topped with thick granite surfaces and incorporating a full range of integrated appliances, including a recessed range cooker set, oven/grill, and microwave as well as a washing machine and full height fridge/freezer.
The bedrooms comprise a generously proportioned master bedroom with a king size bed and dual aspect views towards Edinburgh Castle. This bedroom features secondary double glazing and also benefits from a luxurious en-suite shower room.
The second bedroom is set up with twin beds (can be pushed together to form a double on request) and is served by an equally well fitted family bathroom off the hall.
Larger parties can enquire about our apartment in the same building - The Walter Scott Suite ( same building below this one on the first floor), has the same high spec and stunning views of Edinburgh Castle. Combined, both properties can accommodate up to 8 / 10 people comfortably. It has the same stunning views of Edinburgh Castle and can be made available by special request.

Excellent location! Morris was a super helpful and gracious host. The flat had everything we needed for a lovely stay in Edinburgh for the holiday.

The Flat was exactly as described and all amenities were provided. I have no complaints on this unit and would definitely use it again when visiting Edinburgh. The best thing is that everything is pretty much in walking distance and all the variety of pubs and restaurants to choose from. I want to thank Morris for opening his place for others to enjoy what Edinburgh offers.

This was such a charming rental! Easy check in process. Walking distance to everything with a view of the castle. The kitchen was appointed with everything we needed. We tend to judge rentals we stay in based on two things 1) that there are enough couches and chairs for our family to be able to sit and relax. The sitting room was huge with room to spread out. 2) that the beds/pillows are comfortable. There was soft, cozy bedding. The host was friendly, responsive, and made some wonderful suggestions for places to eat and the best options for parking. There was even a folder in the apartment with detailed information on the area and the unit. We would absolutely stay here again!!

Lovely apartment well placed for seeing the city - unfortunately what it doesn’t highlight is the music from the bar beneath that goes on into the early hours. We arent aware if this is frequent or just a one off but if you are wanting a peaceful stay - in our experience this is not for you
