Owner profile
About the owner
My husband and I met as students at Edinburgh University and have always loved the city. We moved back to Scotland 2 years ago and now run a small property rental and development business.
We now live on a sheep farm north of Edinburgh with our young family but regularly visit the city to enjoy all it has to offer.
We enjoy finding flats in Edinburgh that we know to be in excellent locations and which we enjoy staying in ourselves.
We buy good quality furniture and fittings that we enjoy using and looking at ourselves and insist upon very high standards of cleanliness from the firm of professional cleaners we employ.
We started renting to holiday makers in April 09 and have had extremely positive feedback about how lovely our flats are to stay in.
Year purchased: 2009
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We felt that The Park is an ideal tourist flat. It is on the doorstep of all the major tourist attractions - Holyrood Palace, Parliament, Royal Mile, Castle, Grassmarket are all 1-5 mins walk from the front door.
Despite it being in the heart of all the action You get a really good night's sleep in this flat due to it's situation within a small private development and facing onto Holyrood Park.
The area is packed full of bars, restaurants, shops etc. You don't need to walk far for anything.
We have a dog and young children ad being on the doorstep of Holyrood Park is brilliant for giving them all a big run around first thing in the morning.
Unique benefits of the property
We like the fact that it is so easy to stay here. Allocated parking, lift access and quick to warm up in the winter. It is a really cosy place which is a real bonus given Scotland's weather reputation.
We adore being in Edinburgh during festival time and love the fact that this flat is in the heart of the action. After a long day's festivalling and coming out of a show in the early hours of the morning you can be in bed within a few minutes. Perfect!
