Linens & Bedding:
High-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets, a luxury duvet, warm blankets, and a plush mattress topper ensure a restful sleep.
Noise Reduction:
Double-glazed windows significantly reduce outside noise, offering a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city.

Victoria Street
Princes Street
Explore Edinburgh’s vibrant history and culture from one of its most enviable locations. While the flat is centrally located, it’s set high enough to offer a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle.
Accessibility:
Please note that this flat is on the top floor of a historic building with no lift or elevator. Guests must climb 76 steps to access the flat, making it unsuitable for those with mobility issues.
Guest access:
Guests will have exclusive access to the entire flat, including the patio with seating for two. Make full use of the kitchen, living room, laundry facilities, and all provided amenities. While parking is not included, there are parking options available in the city center, though availability cannot be guaranteed. The flat’s central location on the Royal Mile puts you just steps away from public transportation and Edinburgh’s most iconic attractions.
Other things to note:
Our flat offers a truly special stay in a UNESCO heritage site, blending vibrant modern décor with historic charm. Local artwork adorns the walls, and the views from the windows are nothing short of breathtaking.
While the building’s historic nature means there’s no lift, the climb is well worth it for the unforgettable experience of staying in one of Edinburgh’s most unique and centrally located flats.
