Old Town Apartment Central Edinburgh

This beautiful apartment is located in the heart of Edinburgh’s old town. It is a minutes walk to the Royal Mile and a minutes walk to Edinburgh University.

Built in 1788, this historic location is close to everything, making it easy to plan your visit.

The apartment is on the 2nd floor in a B listed building. The spacious rooms are complimented by the exuberant mix of colours, eye catching views and double glazed windows.

There are two comfortable double bedrooms, the first has a beautiful antique French Style double bed and built-in wardrobe, the second bed room has an open wardrobe and a dressing table. Three large luminous windows gaze over the bustling street, equipped with newly installed double glazing which ensures you a tranquil nights sleep in this buzzing central location.

A generous sized sitting room has two comfortable sofa beds, a 55’’smart TV which includes popular apps such as Netflix, YouTube etc.

The fully fitted kitchen with convenient sitting area has a washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, kettle, plates, bowls, glasses, mugs, knifes, forks, pans, pots and many utensils, more or less everything required to live on a daily basis.

The family sized bathroom has a newly fitted shower that features a large single-spay pattern shower head and a multi-spay pattern shower head. Towels and toiletries are provided.

South Bridge in general is a very vibrant outgoing location teeming with social life. It is immersed by a magnitude of restaurants, bars, theatres, cafés and shops. If you are seeking a more quiet location, this is perhaps is not best suited to you. Our building was build in 1788, due to its location and its age, it is a very old building.

Most tourist attractions are pleasantly within walking distance. The world renowned Edinburgh University is only a minutes walk away and the famous Princes Street is a less than ten minutes walking commute. Bus stops are located directly in front of our building with many of the major bus lines running to different destinations.

Our sleek South Bridge apartment will provide you a most central and near definitely comfortable stay, one which shall not slip your mind anytime soon!

We stayed in this apartment for three nights. There were five of us, sharing two bedrooms and a living room. We had a very pleasant experience. The apartment is comfortable. The location is very central and close to tourist attractions and restaurants. There's a supermarket right next door and a bus stop. The apartment is a bit vintage, as seen in the photos.

A real WALK UP

"This property is close to shopping and local attractions and is very accessible by bus. However, while I knew it was a walk-up to the third floor, I was not expecting the spiral staircase, which made carrying even light luggage more difficult. There are a few repairs needed, and the door has only a chain lock from the inside. Strangely, the lock on the outside is about one foot from the floor."

A perfect wee apartment right around the corner from all the action. A “hidden” entrance off South Bridge unlocks & locks behind you for security, then up the winding staircase a couple of flights to the apartment entrance. When we opened the door it was exactly as listed. A clean, fresh, comfortable place with all the amenities. Out front you can see the shops. Out back we were serenaded by a man with a guitar in a window across the street. The street below had pubs, restaurants & cafes & we found many many more everywhere we walked. We grabbed some groceries just up the street & had breakfast & snacks each day as we prepared for our next adventure. The beds were super comfortable & it was nice to have the extra space to sit in the mornings for coffee & evenings for snacks after touring. There is a chain lock on the door which we locked whenever we were in the apartment. When we left for the day or at night when we went to bed, we locked the actual deadbolt lock which is down low at the bottom of the door (just swing the wee cover over & use key to lock yourself in). Easy! Communication with the host was super easy & fast. A great place to stay while in Edinburgh & I am glad we found it!
