About this property

Quiet but close to City Centre. Free parking & 2 bathrooms (one newly replaced)

This attractive apartment provides the best of both worlds; it is within walking distance of Edinburgh City Centre, but is situated in a quiet location with the added benefit of a parking space. With Princes Street and the City Centre only a short walk, you can easily be at the heart of Edinburgh’s shopping, historic and cultural district. For nightlife, the apartment offers convenient access to popular bars and restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets. And when you want a break from the bustle and excitement of the city, the peaceful Royal Botanic Gardens are within walking distance (approx. 15 mins), as are excellent transport connections to out of town attractions. The apartment itself contains two bedrooms (one double and one twin, both with new mattresses from January 2024), one with en-suite facilities. The lounge / dining area open out onto a small patio area, for which a table and chairs are provided.

Lovely city centre stay!
We stayed over Christmas with my partner’s sister and elderly mother, and this ground floor apartment was perfect. Prior to arrival, we received detailed notes about how to find the apartment and how to access it - all were very easy to follow instructions. This continued when we entered and were presented with the ‘Welcome Book’. This has all the information we could possibly need during our stay. The location of the property was perfect too; it was close enough to the city centre that we could have a leisurely stroll to the shops when needed, but also far enough out that we were away from the hustle and bustle over the busy Christmas period.

Edinburgh with family
The flat is in a good area quiet and parking a real bonus plus two bathrooms . The owners are quick to respond to all questions . Nice lounge and kitchen with all you need, a bit tired in places. The main bedroom smells damp and musty however and when the water pressure during a shower forces the taps in kitchen to go on with a screechy noise . Unfortunately beds are extremely uncomfortable and none of us had a restful sleep i think new mattresses are need as mentioned in previous reviews.

Lovely apartment with everything you could need for a holiday in this lovely city. Convenient car parking just outside the door. 10 minute walk to town and tram stop just around the corner...so convenient if coming from the airport.

Our stay in Edinburgh
The flat was situated in a quiet part of Edinburgh, a bit of a walk from the Centre, but there were buses and trams. Beds were clean and comfortable. We did communicate with the owner and got an almost immediate reply from him. Car parking worked well using the QR code. There were pubs and cafes nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Sam Newman

Host profile image
The property was purchased by 3 generations of a family - mother and daughter Sue and Sam, and grandfather Les. We use the property to visit son Dave and his family.

Despite the fact we purchased the property when Les was 86, he played a very active role in getting the property ready.

Sue and Sam both live in Croxley Green in Hertfordshire. Sam and her husband John run their own business providing public sector research and consultancy. They have two young children. Sue is now retired (although is kept busy with childcare for her grandchildren!) but previously worked managing a programming team.

Why they chose this property

With family living in Edinburgh we found ourselves frequently coming up stay in B&Bs. We loved the city and wanted to visit more often, and also liked the idea of having somewhere we could have a living space we could all share.

This particular location appealed because we felt it was very important to have parking and the proximity to the town centre made it a very attractive place to be based. Guests frequently comment on the fact that it is a lovely quiet area, despite being so close to the city centre. There is a small children's play area near the Co-op which our children love to play in and we love being able to open the patio doors on a nice day (they do get them occasionally in Edinburgh!).

Although we often walk into the City centre the bus stop a few minutes walk away make it even easier to get around.

What makes this property unique

We bought the property knowing that we would want to let it out so we were careful to find somewhere that was located conveniently for town, had good parking and which was suitable for older generations and children alike. Although the building has a lift, the ground floor access is particularly helpful and meant we got the small patio area.

We have tried to furnish and equip it so that it could be a great home away from home for us, without it being too personalised. We have stayed in many B&Bs and flats around Edinburgh so we felt we had a good idea of what works and what doesn't.
