The Neighborhood:

Tucked away in the legendary Lady Stair’s Close, this apartment offers a rare front-row seat to the best of Edinburgh’s Old Town, sitting in a quiet courtyard that feels like a portal to the past.

Living here means stepping out of your peaceful sanctuary directly into the soul of the city, surrounded by hidden wynds, artisan coffee spots like The Milkman, and the vibrant, storied energy of the Scottish capital.

A perfect wee hideaway.It’s an ideal location right in the heart of Old Town.Perfect for a single person on an adventure or cozy couple experience. Everywhere you want to go is within walking distance and should you wish to explore beyond the immediate vicinity, Princes Street is just down the hill where you’ll find a bus to take you literally anywhere in Scotland.It’s very cozy. The radiator heaters in every room provided plenty of warmth in the sub zero weather. Nice and toasty.Comfortable bed and the couch was perfect for lounging on and watching BBC iPlayer which is included. Doctor Who fans will enjoy this nice perk.The amenities were as described. The shower has good pressure. My only very minor inconvenience was there was no spatula in the kitchen utensils and the frying pan was too light to register on the electric cook top but everything else was perfectly fine. The Jolly Judge pub is literally out your back door and the view out of the bedroom window is epically beautiful.Great little place. I’d recommend it.

We absolutely loved this flat! From one side we looked over The Royal Mile. From the other side we had a view of the Writer's Museum and Makar's Court. It was centrally located to everything we wanted to do. The buses are easy to use, but we didn't even need them this trip! We could hear the bagpipers and tourists (and seagulls!) with the windows open, which we enjoyed... but closing them drowned out the noise nicely, too. Excellent stay!

Overall poor and careless maintenance: shower with blocked drain, hose leaking. Hooks in the bathroom broken off. Table wobbly, chairs sagging. Wardrobes filled with cleaning utensils, spare blankes and two irons (why two?), leaving no room for personal belongings (clothes etc.) in the wardrobes. Building sites directly opposite, construction machinery noise even at 4.45 am!
