Edinburgh,
Sit back and relax in The Portsburgh Square Residence. Tucked just behind the Grassmarket in the Old Town, this one-bedroom apartment enjoys an enviable location, but with all of the peace and quiet of an off-street setting.
The lovely and light living/kitchen area features a flatscreen TV and unlimited Wi-Fi. The kitchenette comes fully equipped with everything you need for a few days in Edinburgh, including a microwave and fridge. The cosy master bedroom offers a double bed and guest storage. A family bathroom with shower over bath completes this delightful home from home.

The Portsburgh Square Residence’s location is simply the best! Sitting on the edge of the Grassmarket and just a few minutes’ stroll from the Royal Mile, the local area is brimming with history and things to do. Whether you’d like to browse the varied boutiques on Cockburn Street or have a good old fashioned pub lunch while you gaze up at the Castle, this property has it all. The apartment itself is a grade C listed building, which occupies an ancient site within the World Heritage Trust area of Edinburgh's Old Town.
Princes Street is a mere 10 minute stroll away, and the Royal Mile is even closer. We guarantee that you’ll find intrigue galore on your doorstep - but if you’d like to venture further afield, Waverley train station is within easy walking distance and the area is well serviced by the extremely efficient Lothian Buses.

This place is a gem! You are actually right below the Castle. It is on a busy street but you would really not know because the apartment is tucked inside a square with plants and flowers everywhere.
The flat was adorable. However I wouldn’t book it again for more than 2 people. Cozy, but small.
Great little place in the heart of the old town part of the city!
The flat was as pictured and was in a great location. Close to Grassmarket with pubs and restaurants nearby. Walking distance to most sights including The Edinburgh Castle, High Street, Holyrood and Princes Street. Nice layout and well equipped.
Lots to see, easy access to most places
The apartment was perfect for the 2 of us. Not overly big but all you need kitchen, lounge and separate bedroom. Process of gaining access to apartment went smoothly. Lastly an excellent location for both Old Town and New Town Edinburgh. Would highly recommend.
Easy access, perfect location in old town, minutes from public transit. Everything you need in the Appartement. We immensely enjoyed our visit.
We appreciated the flat though the online pictures made it appear bigger. It was comfortable and had everything we needed except a clothes dryer. Location was great - just a few steps from Grassmarket. We grew quite comfortable with our “new” home and miss it now far, far across the pond
The property was in a beautiful (but hidden ?) location. Convenient to ALL the local attractions. I got my money's worth in wonderful walks. I had a fabulous time exploring the area and looked forward to coming home at the end of my day. Grocery, movie theater, and hair salons all simply around the corner. (I work in a remote location; so these amenities were fabulous). The flat was very clean with sufficient linens and kitchenware to sustain my stay. The neighborhood was surprisingly quiet considering its location in the middle of the historic district. Pleasant surprise! The satellite TV was constantly going out so my relaxing evenings at home were slightly frustrating when I attempted to watch anything. More instructions on how to use the shower would have been helpful. (I've never encountered that type of heating system-literally took me a few tries to figure it out. Had a few scalding showers in the process?) All in all it was a marvelous stay and enhanced my vacation to Edinburgh and Scotland.
