Located in the heart of Edinburgh's New Town, Thistle Street offers the best of city centre living. This lively and vibrant cobbled street has pretty Georgian architecture and an excellent range of restaurants, cafes and bars as well as designer shops. Most of Edinburgh’s sights are within easy walking distance and a number of bus routes pass close by should one wish to go further afield.

The two bedroom apartment is on the first floor of a stylish conversion of an old auction house. It offers plenty of space which has been thoughtfully equipped and decorated to provide an extremely comfortable base for visitors to the city.

A large entrance hallway has rooms radiating off it and leads to a wonderful kitchen living area. The wooden floored sitting area has been tastefully furnished with large sofas bedecked with colourful cushions which have been arranged around a large low table. Plenty of shelving houses a selection of books, a TV and DVD Player and the walls have an attractive array of pictures and paintings. A living flame gas fire offers a cosy focal point on a chilly evening. There is a desk and Wi-Fi is available should this be required.

A stunningly large kitchen has an excellent collection of crockery, cookware glasses and cutlery should guests wish to eat in and is appointed with an electric oven and gas hob, microwave, coffee machine, fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. A large table in the centre of the rooms provides seating for 6 people.

The master bedroom is to the front of the property and has a king size bed and is furnished with chest of drawers, wardrobe, bedside table and lamps. This room has the benefit of a good sized en-suite shower room with shower, WC and wash hand basin.

The pretty second bedroom is to the rear of the property and, again, offers plenty of hanging and storage space.

A large crisp white bathroom with bath and shower over, WC and wash hand basin and good lighting and mirrors completes the accommodation.

As a result, it is very important that you let us know how you are travelling to Edinburgh, and your expected time of arrival, so we can choose the most convenient place for you to pick up the keys. The options are Waverley train station or a small convenience store on Frederick Street (just around the corner!) You will be sent a Key Nest code 48 hours prior to your arrival which you will need to quote to the member of staff at the Key Nest facility to obtain the keys.

    Great apartment. Airy and spacious and just an all around comfortable place to hang out when we weren’t out and about. Great kitchen and living room spaces, especially. It was an easy walk to the royal mile and other Edinburgh sights, and close to one of the Fringe locations. It’s in a small alley next to several yummy restaurants, so there was a bit of noise from bottles being tossed at the end of the night as well as one early morning trash pickup. My kids slept through it, though, so I didn’t mind too much. Otherwise, we found it pretty quiet, calm, and safe-feeling. Would definitely stay again!

    5 nights in this superb apartment. Very large apartment (maybe 1500 sq. Ft). Well appointed. Fantastic location. About the only downside is the nighttime street noise from the pubs emptying out at 2-3 am. Lots of loud drunk folks.

    This property is very well situated. We walked to many of the sites we wanted to see while in Edinburgh, and those that were further afield, such as the Royal Yacht, we walked to the nearby tram stop. The property was very clean and spacious and well appointed. The manager was helpful and very quick to respond to our questions. If you're looking for a place to stay in the heart of Edinburgh, I recommend it!

    The property is beautiful, clean, warm and homely a absolutely perfect base. However take ear plugs, the bins to the bars and restaurants start getting emptied everyday from 3am until 7am and it’s exceedingly noisy!
