About this property

Georgian Elegance: large, comfortable apartment in Edinburgh's New Town

A large 1000 sq ft, self contained, two bed apartment a short walk away from all the attractions of Old and New Town Edinburgh. The apartment is all on one floor down the steps from the street and has one king and one twin bedroom, one huge bathroom with a separate bath and walk in shower. A well equipped kitchen with microwave, dishwasher and washer drier - ideal for those travelling with children. A cot or an extra child’s bed can be provided if needed. With a small courtyard outside for that extra bit of peace and quiet. During these crazy times, the apartment is ideal as it has its own front door at basement level with no shared spaces to make your own safe space.
I’ve been told to update this description and stress how large the apartment is! I’ve tried to take photos but come and see for yourself!

Beautiful property
Beautiful basement flat in a Georgian crescent. Central location, with easy access to bars and restaurants but on a quiet road to escape the hustle and bustle. The flat was clean, comfortable and well stocked. Jackie, the owner couldn’t have been more helpful.

Lovely apartment, great location!
This is a really lovely apartment in a fabulous location! We will certainly return. The apartment is large, comfortable and well furnished. The beds are really comfortable and the shower is fabulous. Being just 10 minutes walk into the centre of the city really made the stay for us. We loved it.

About the host

Hosted by Jackie

Host profile image
We came to Edinburgh 18 years ago as a family on the suggestion of my husband who remembered visiting his grandparents here as a child and loving it. He thought it was a great place to live and bring up the family - he was right! Over the years Edinburgh has really flourished and now has such a variety of activities, restaurants, walks and bars. All in such a small area. It's ideal for all types of visitors.

Why they chose this property

This part of Edinburgh is a lovely secret - right in the middle of everything but surrounded by parks and gardens making it one of the quietest places to be in a busy city. Within 20 minutes walk (or much less) you could be on your way up to the top of Arthurs Seat, looking round the Scottish Parliament, seeing where Mary Queen of Scots' lover was murdered in Holyrood Palace, walking up the Royal Mile which leads to the castle, shopping in Princes Street, admiring the collections in National, royal and commercial art galleries, eating some of the best food in Scotland (we have a Michelin starred restaurant at the end of the road), drinking some of the rarest whiskies in the world, or simply standing and looking at the history of Edinburgh from the top of Calton Hill. One visit is never enough. Some of our guests have chosen us because when it all gets too busy, the apartment is never too far to pop back and recharge!

What makes this property unique

This property is spacious and welcoming. It provides a comfortable place to take a break from sightseeing but is only a walk away from most things and a short taxi, bus or tram ride away from the rest. If you come by car there is ample on street parking. The current cost is £2.70 per hour, Monday to Friday, 8.30 -5.30. If you come by train you can walk from Waverley station, it takes about 15 minutes. If you fly, the airport bus takes you to Waverley and you can walk from there, or take the new tram which takes you to York place, a slightly shorter walk. The apartment has everything laid out on a single floor although the access to the front door is down a set of steps so not wheel chair accessible. If you go and see the Georgian House museum then come back to the apartment, you can see how everything was originally designed and its fun to be living in a part of history even for a while and imagine the previous occupants over the centuries.
The apartment works in all seasons: in winter you can settle by the fire and close the shutters after spending a day in the Christmas markets or exploring. In the summer you can exhaust yourself walking up Arthurs Seat or along the coast by Portobello and come home and sit and have a drink in the sunny courtyard at the back of the apartment. Although there is only one bathroom - it's big enough that one person could shower and the other have a bath without seeing each other.
