Still available dates for next years Edinburgh International Festival in this Stunning city- centre apartment with amazing views of Edinburgh Castle in the heart of Edinburgh. This is an amazing opportunity to be at the heart of the action for both the largest arts festival in the world, The Edinburgh International Festival and Edinburgh's Christmas & Hogmanay celebrations. Just minutes walk from the main venues and cultural/historical attractions, German markets, ice rink and big wheel etc for the festive hols, and surrounded by the best shopping, bars and restaurants, this is all about location, location, location! Pleasant walks can be enjoyed nearby along the Water of Leith walkway, Inverleith Park and the Royal Botanic Gardens while there is convenient road access to the west leading to the city bypass, Edinburgh International Airport and central Scotland’s motorway network. Waverley Train Station is also within a short walk.

This 5 star luxury apartment has unprecedented views of Edinburgh castle and commands an extremely central location on the corner of fashionable George Street and North Castle Street. Surrounded by leading stores such as Harvey Nichol's and great restaurants and bars. It is decorated and furnished to the highest standards.

One of the first flats to be built in the New Town by James Craig in 1790 and directly adjacent to the Edinburgh town house of Sir Walter Scott! Two bedrooms - one master, (with super king-size divan) and stunning castle views. The single bedroom (but large enough for two with a single/trundle bed that coverts to an additional single) has a very comfy new bed with good length. Both bedrooms are newly equipped with acoustic glazing, so extremely quite from the street noise below.

large elegant lounge with two large windows, contemporary furnishings and decor with two comfortable sofas and a marble dining table with chairs for six with matching consul and side tables. There is a large Sony flat screen TV with access to Sky and Apple television.

State of the art Kitchen and Bathroom ( with under floor heating & steam enclosure) - limestone throughout: Fully fitted contemporary, luxury kitchen with everything you would expect of a 5 star property and bathroom. Double ended bath and steam shower, under-floor heating and limestone wet-room.

The property comes with access to the beautiful private gardens on Queen Street (residents only), just two minutes from the front door, which provides the most perfect oasis in the heart of the city. I use it for my limited jogging circuit when I'm in residence, as it's perfectly manicured and also entirely geared up for secure doggie walking. Wonderful in the Summer for festival picnics and reading the papers of a morning.

Christmas and Hogmanay (Scotlands' New Year Celebrations) also bring their own added attractions, with new events planned on George Street every year; Xmas markets and a wonderful sparkly atmosphere, enhanced by the beautiful festive street lighting. There is still availability for Christmas and Hogmanay 2023/24! The celebrations have evolved into a world class event over the years with a full daily programme designed to appeal to all tastes and age groups in the heart of the city and literally just minutes walk from the door step. Fancy a change of scene in one of the most historically beautiful city's in the world - book now to avoid disappointment! Please refer to bookings calendar for availability.

We have two luxury apartments in the building, both with the same elevation and stunning views of Edinburgh Castle. The Robert Louis Stevenson Suite ( below this one) has a more retro feel, but with classical over tones, especially in the master bedroom and kitchen. Please do contact us to enquire about a dual apartment booking, when we can offer a special rate for larger groups, special occasions, wedding parties etc.

    Unfortunately we didn’t have a chance to spend the night there after 15 hours of traveling because when I picked up the keys and went up to second floor with my bags I found other people there on our apartment (they didn’t speak English so I couldn’t figure it out why they were there). Finally I call the owner and he was nive and very sorry but…

    Fantastic location and beautifully appointed. Comfortable beds and sofas and great shower! Acoustic glazing in the bedrooms helps with the city centre noise but I think you need to accept it’s inevitable with a location like this. So easy to explore both new and old town from here with plenty of lovely restaurants nearby. I have no doubt I’ll return at some point!

    Morris was excellent and quick to respond to any enquiry.Flat is bang in the centre of Edinburgh and hard to imagine a property of this quality anywhere better situated.Steam shower a real treat with fantastic water pressure.My wife and I are 73 and 72 respectively and the stairs up to the flat were initially a bit tiring, but we got used to the ascent fairly quickly. Lots of character in this 200 year old building, overall it is as described, a luxury flat.

    We had such a wonderful adventure in Edinburgh. Our accommodations were everything we expected them to be and more and our host responded to any messages immediately and was warm and welcomingThe flat is located in a fabulous spot with pubs, restaurants, patisserie, and shopping within blocks. We were able to walk everywhere easily and in a short amount of time. Along with the proximity comes a little bit of noise in the evenings, but nothing to discourage a return stay!. The flat was welcoming and cozy with excellent amenities. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need and the quickest tea kettle I’ve ever experienced as well as a very convenient washer and dryer at hand. The restroom had heated floors and towel bars and we called the mirror “the magic mirror” because the lighting made us all look five years younger and glowing. Lol I would most certainly stay here again and we do look forward to having that opportunity. I will caution that there are two flights of stairs to get to the flat and I was grateful I had a daughter to assist me with my huge suitcase. We felt fortunate to have selected this property!

    The location of this property is absolutely superb, situated right in the heart of the city with most of the attractions within walking distance. The property itself is large and full of character with a well equipped kitchen and Morris the host is very obliging and quick to respond to any questions you may have. The position of the property overlooking George Street can be noisy on an evening but it must be said that we stayed in the property during festival time and whilst Oasis fans were in the city. Normally we wouldn't expect it to be too bad. Everything in the property was spotlessly clean although some areas (window frames and small bedroom) could do with a little decorating. All in all we had a very enjoyable stay in this property and would recommend it to anyone who wants to be in the centre of all the action which Edinburgh has to offer.

    Lovely, clean, spacious apartment, very bright due to the large windows. Well equipped kitchen. We enjoy walking and were able to walk to all Edinburgh’s highlights. Only used public transit to see the Britannia, and the apartment is close to all public transit options. Our host was very helpful with any questions or requests, and a repair man was sent immediately when there was a slight issue. We enthusiastically recommended this apartment as long as the flights of stairs are not a concern.

    We enjoyed our stay in this unique home with beautiful historical character dating all the way back to 1790. You can truly feel the history in the architecture and details, and it gave our trip a sense of charm and authenticity you just don’t find in modern places.The location was by far the best part—right in the heart of everything, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and historic sites. It made exploring the area incredibly convenient, and we loved being able to walk almost everywhere.The new carpet in the bedroom and living room was a nice touch—clean, comfortable, and added a bit of freshness to the space. That said, the bathroom could still use some tender loving care and a steam cleaning of the living room couch cushions would bring the overall experience up a notch.Though eventually resolved, we did have a bit of a hiccup on the first day with collecting the keys to access the flat and should be noted that the apartment is accessed via 46 steps up a circular staircase. Normally not an issue for us, but it made our incredibly heavy suitcases quite the workout. While the home is located near some lively street-level bars and restaurants, we were pleasantly surprised that we didn’t hear any noise from inside the unit. It stayed quiet and peaceful at night, which we really appreciated.If you enjoy places with character and a sense of history, this is a charming option in an unbeatable location.

    We found the location to be perfect for a stay in New Town with everything in Old town within easy walking distance. The carpet was a bit worn out and there was a cigarette burn on one of the sofas in the living room. The mattresses were too old and a lumpy. The layout of the apartment was nice. We had a wonderful stay and the kitchen was clean and laid out very well with all the amenities and appliances.

    Very happy with the property, our only gripe was having to carry a large suitcase up the spiral stairs to the second floor. Smaller cases would be easier. The property is centrally located and is within walking distance of most of the attractions, shops and restaurants, with trams, buses and Waverley station close by.
