About this apartment rental

The Forrest Road Residence is a fabulous 2-bedroom apartment that enjoys an unrivalled location set in the very heart of Edinburgh. Positioned right on the edge of the city’s historic Old Town, you are surrounded by an abundance of character and ‘must see’ attractions. Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile and the beautiful open green spaces of The Meadows are all just an easy stroll away. The National Museum of Scotland and the University of Edinburgh are also within walking distance. The Old Town itself and the Grassmarket area have a wide array of restaurants, cafes, bars, and eclectic boutiques - you really will be spoiled for choice of things to do. Princes Street, St James Quarter and George Street are within easy walking distance and afford a wider range of larger retail stores.

This apartment presents contemporary interiors throughout, that sit perfectly alongside original retained features; ornate cornicing, exposed floorboards, fireplaces, and high ceilings - all typical of old Edinburgh architecture.

When you’ve had your fill of exploring the closes and cobbled streets, sit back and relax in the generous, contemporary sitting room, decorated in the latest chic colour palette, and take full advantage of the huge flat-screen Smart TV and complimentary WiFi.

You’ll find everything you need for your self-catering holiday in the roomy, traditional kitchen, including a large oven and hob, along with a solid wooden dining table that seats four guests. Other appliances consist of a fridge, freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, microwave, and dishwasher. And that all-important coffee machine!

You have the choice of two bedrooms to rest your head. The master suite boasts a super king-size bed and original marble fireplace, and the other also has a feature fireplace and a king-size bed. Both have plentiful storage.

Please note we do not provide hypoallergenic bedding at our properties.

A slick shower room with a spacious walk-in shower, complete with a rainfall shower head completes this wonderful home from home.

And this property benefits from a private parking space - a real rarity in the city centre!

A meet and greet service is provided, whereby you will be met at the property to be provided with keys and to be shown the property. Please arrange your arrival with the property manager.

Arrivals after midnight will access the property via a key safe. If you are arriving earlier than 16:00 on your day of arrival, it is always worth contacting the property manager as they will always endeavour to give you access as soon as possible.

The latest departure time is 10:00, however, a guaranteed later departure (up to 20:00) can be arranged for a fee of 50% of the daily rate for that day but please note this is subject to no existing booking arriving that day already.

The apartment was lovely, conveniently located, and the host met us immediately upon arrival. The walkup was as described, so there were no surprises. Having a washer and dryer was an additional amenity that came in handy. The grocery below also was very convenient. I would definitely stay here again.

Tony was amazing and so very accommodating. He was available for questions and info and responded quickly. Location was incredible and we were able to walk everywhere we could've wanted! The flat was well decorated and cared for and was very nicely sized. There are a couple coffee shops and a mini market right outside of the door- very convenient! I would recommend a white noise machine to help drown out the noise at night if you're not used to sleeping in the city. Note for travelers** We rented a car for our next destination which required loading up on the street Sunday and parking patrol was all over us so think about parking if you go that route.
