From the owner

Luxury self catering apartment in a B listed Georgian building with many beautiful period features.

Furnished and decorated to a high standard.

Centrally located, within walking distance of all Edinburgh's City centre attractions.

There are 4 bedrooms and there are very many different bed size possibilities, at present it is set up with:

2 double beds, 2 kingsize beds and 2 single beds.

Another arrangement is:

2 double beds and 6 singles.

Please note: The kingsize beds become 2 singles when required by unzipping the mattresses. One of the 6 single beds is in the living room.

Please let us know your preferred arrangements.

One of the bedrooms is accessed through a secret door in the house, but we'll give you a chance to find the door before we tell you where it is!

There are 2 bathrooms, one with a bespoke sunken bath and hand held shower, please see the photographs.

There is a second bathroom with a walk in shower room and bespoke features too, ensuite to the green bedroom.

Very large living room with huge original mirror (great to get dressed if you are getting married!) and lots of comfortable sitting.

Also a large DVD library including many adults and kids films.

Large and well equipped kitchen with dining table, flagstones floor, Belfast sink, dresser, cooking facilities ( electric oven and fan oven as well as 2 grills, a hot plate and 4 gas hobs ).

Wooden floors.

All rooms have natural light from windows and bespoke features.

ABOUT THE LOCATION.

We are in the centre, in the top right corner when looking at the A-Z of Edinburgh City Centre page.

The following distance measures were done by my walking pace which I consider normal although my husband who is much taller will reach destination quicker than me......so here we go: It is 7 minutes walk from the Parlament, the Holyrood palace, the Royal Mile and the Old Town.

If you follow Regent Terrace ( which is just by us) you will reach Princess Street in 13 minutes and this one is a glorious walk with panoramic views of Arthur's Sit and Edinburgh, I love this route.

Also if you take Royal Terrace you can reach the Play House and the New town in 10 minutes...another beautiful walk.

PARKING AND TRANSPORT It has great bus connections though you might prefer to just walk.

The streets off our street are free parking, we usually park in Abbey Ln or Lyne Street. Please see the map. Abbeyhill is also free parking.

Also from 6 pm on Friday you can park on our street until Monday morning. Please feel welcome to ask any questions.

GETTING AROUND:

There are countless buses to get you to every corner of the city, but you might as well walk as it is a central location.
