Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire property during their stay.
The Neighborhood:
Edinburgh’s Old Town is the lively cultural centre of the city, with winding lanes and historic buildings that date back centuries. Today it is packed with an exciting mix of restaurants, bars and nightlife, while also being home to many of Edinburgh’s most famous landmarks. From the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle to the Grassmarket and the Edinburgh Dungeons, you will find much of the city’s history and charm right on your doorstep.
For tips on great places to eat and drink nearby, be sure to check the guidebook on my listing.
Getting Around:
One of the great advantages of staying in the Old Town is how close you are to everything, with most attractions just a short walk away.
From the Airport: Take the tram or the Airlink bus directly to Waverley Station. From there you can either enjoy a 15 minute walk to the apartment or take a quick taxi ride.
By Train: The nearest station is Edinburgh Waverley. From here you can hop on Lothian Bus routes 33 or 3, or simply take a taxi for a fast and easy journey.
By Bus: Edinburgh is well served by Lothian Buses. Their free app is very handy, offering maps, fare details and real time updates to help you get around the city with ease.
Other Things to Note:
The local signal can occasionally drop which may cause the Wi-Fi to be a little patchy at times.

10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
This was a great apartment. The location can't be beat! It was very comfortable and cozy. My only complaint is that they need to have a binder in the apartment with instructions on how to operate everything: electricity, turn on the hot water, turn on the heat, and operate the washer/dryer and dishwasher. Finding the unit was a little bit of a challenge, but the picture of the entry door to the building helped immensely. We had a great stay in this unit.

It was nice. Could use more information on how to turn on hot water and directions on how to operate heaters.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2020
We so enjoyed our 3 weeks in this apartment! Even quarantining here for 2 weeks was totally doable! The location is absolutely perfect for exploring all of Edinburgh on foot. And the apartment is spacious and comfortable! it was wonderful for me, my husband and our 18 yr old daughter, and would be equally perfect if travelling with an infant or young child -- it is fully equipped for everything. The kitchen is LARGE by UK standards, and included everything we needed for 2 full weeks of preparing all of our own meals. And communication with the property owner and management was clear, simple and easy. It is also perfectly located for access to the University of Edinburgh. We were literally 500 feet from our daughter's university accomodations. We hope to return and stay here again!

The flat is in a great location and very roomy for 3 adults. However, it feels like you are staying in your cousin's college flat.
The toilet linked. Burned out light bulbs. Missing decor etc. Some of the radiators worked some didn't.
Most of our VRBO stays come with great detail on the area and information that is key to the flat. This one contained nothing of the sort so I will have to assume they are new to rentals?
Has promise but not there yet.
