Wellington Place is a truly unique property. The town house was originally designed for a wealthy merchant because of its proximity to the old trading centre of Leith docks and retains a wealth of original features: extravagant beautiful plasterwork and cornicing , marble fireplaces, etched glass windows and original shutters on all windows. New ( 2006) luxury thick -pile carpets are in both bedrooms and recent upgrades have been made to kitchen and furnishings.

A stunning bow-ended master bedroom which would most likely have been the original dining-room, as suggested by the marble fireplace and etched glass windows is a relaxing place to spend time after a day sightseeing in the historical city. Stunning new bathroom just fitted with walk-in shower, new appliances and underfloor heating!

These original features have been combined with the open-plan style and contemporary features of 21st-century living to provide a calm and relaxing environment. The modern open plan kitchen and dining area have all the appliances one would expect from a state of the art kitchen while retaining the original grand period features of the room. The lounge also has a remotely controlled gas fire, very authentic, within an impressive Georgian fireplace for cosy nights in. All windows have working shutters.

The property comes with state of the art media entertainment and communications including; latest 55” Samsung flat screen (Art) - full HD, fast broad band via wifi. This place is seriously cool!

On-street metered parking is available and we can also provide visitor permits with sufficient notice - a major asset in any city. The nearest bus and tram stop is just 2 mins. round the corner on Constitución street departing every 5/10 minutes directly to centre of Edinburgh and Princes Street, where the journey time is approx 10 mins - so extremely close to the city centre without the same extent of noise and traffic. A real oasis in Edinburgh!

Surrounded by excellent local amenities, supermarkets ( nearest 2 mins from building), new bars & restaurants and artisan bakeries and cafes. award winning Terrance Conran designed Mall, home to The Royal Yacht Britannia on quay side, multi-plex cinema, excellent shopping just 5 mins away by car or cab.

    Excellent location and easy to travel by tram into central Edinburgh. Good for bars and restaurants locally all in walking distance. Parking charges apply if you wish to park outside the property itself. Though owners may offer a parking permit.We did not need a car.

    Our stay here was lovely - safe and quiet neighborhood with a huge park across the street which was originally Leith Golf Course (really interesting statue and info over there) We were very comfortable and lots of great restaurants and breakfast places both within walking distance and no more that 2 miles from the house. Plus a Tesco at the end of the street. Enjoyed our first visit to Edinburgh and the people were great!

    Our stay was great, the property is located perfectly just a short 1 minute from the tram stop with ample amenities close by.We had an issue with the newly fitted boiler only having cold water on our first day but prompt replies from the host and quick action meant that this could be fixed the following day to fit around our schedule.Incredibly happy with our stay and would recommend to others visiting Edinburgh.

    A quirky property in an interesting location. Kitchen a bit tired and dishwasher needs attention. Comfortable furniture and nice high ceilings throughout. Bathroom was very good. Strong smell of tobacco was a little disconcerting.

    The apartment is really spacious, especially the living room and the kitchen (we were a family with 3 children). The bathroom ist well-equiped. Directly in front of the apartment is a great park and a bit further Leith. Buses and tramway are quite close, also a big supermarket. The contact with the host was quick and fine. There is nothing to reclame. Thank you!

    We had a great stay at this VRBO. Very close to the tram which was such a convenient way to travel! Loved the modern bathroom and kitchen while the rest of the home maintained the history of the home. The house had everything we needed. The host was helpful and available as needed. Would definitely recommend!!

    My husband and I stayed with friends and our oldest son. The flat was beautiful, maintaining most of the original details, yet modern, comfortable and well equipped. The tram stop was close by, making it easy to get around (even to the airport) Tesco right down the street made shopping easy, and the neighborhood was calm and quiet, yet close to services and restaurants. Highly recommend and will keep this at the top of the list for our next visit to Edinburgh.

    Very nice Appartement in a very old house. Stained glasses at the entry door, almost 4 m high ceilings and lots of space. Tram and bus station in short walking distance. Tesco 3 minutes walking away. Leith links is a former golf course now a public park. Very quiet area.

    Stayed there for 4 nights. Location was perfect. Walking distance to a grocery store, shops and restaurants. Plus a very short walk to the Edinburgh tram that we used everyday. House was beautiful and met our needs during our stay. Enjoyed the heated floors in the bathroom and the beds were very comfortable. Definitely would stay there again and would recommend this place to anyone visiting Edinburgh.
