With its sweeping staircase and stunning cupula, a grand entrance welcomes you to The Shandwick Residence.

The world-famous Edinburgh Castle, and the tranquil Princes Street Gardens are a short walk away.

Occupying space over two floors, this tastefully designed apartment offers a spacious open-plan living area with double full-length windows overlooking Shandwick Place.

You’ll find everything on hand to cook up a treat in the modern kitchen and the integrated appliances includes a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, oven/hob, microwave, and washer/dryer. Entertainment needs are well catered for too, with a smart TV and complimentary WiFi.

When you’ve had your fill of exploring the closes and cobbled streets, you can be assured of a good night’s sleep as both elegantly decorated bedrooms overlook the quieter, rear of the property.

    This place is very good if you want to get to airport. The tram goes right past it and it’s only a short walk from the nearest stop. The combination washer drier in the apartment is not very good and pods were not provided. One small load is a two day process as drying takes forever. Great place and great location just don’t plan on catching up on your laundry

    You cant do any better than this flat! Great location in Edinburgh. Right on the tram line which makes an easy 30 minutes from the airport . Also - easily walkable to many sights and convenient to grocery and restaurants and pubs. The flat itself is very spacious and clean. Two large size bedrooms and bathrooms and a very large common space to plan out your day in this magical city! Proprety management team was super easy to work with and very helpful.

    We were able to walk everywhere! The apartment was perfect. Taxis aren’t allowed on this street, but they’ll do it if you hurry. Couldn’t get the street box number to work, but a lovely man named Francis helped us in. The big street windows are perfect for catching the sun. The grocery store below has everything you’ll need.

    Great location and a lovely apartment perfectly presented. Plenty of space and well appointed. One flight of steps in description is misleading as you have modern steps to the front door but once in to get to the living areas you have more narrow and steep staircase. Adds to character but a serious obstacle if you have luggage. Overall very happy

    We came as a family for a pre-Christening weekend and had the most amazing stay in this very central beautiful apartment. We had everything we needed and could reach anywhere in the centre with just a short walk . The apartment was beautifully and tastefully decorated and we very much enjoyed our stay

    The place is a comfortable & relaxing place. It is convenient to many of Edinburgh attractions. There also is a grocery store next door. It’s a busy street but they have double pane windows that keep the noise down If you plan on driving or renting a car just know that it’s about $35 dollars a day to park over night at the NCP which isn’t all that far away. From the time we entered the place it offered an “wow” feeling. Make sure you’re ok with stairs. But the spiral staircase entry was amazing! Coming from the states we felt, safe & secure here and kept it under the radar.
