In the Grassmarket, peace and quiet can be hard to come by, so this flat really does enjoy the best of both worlds. Nestled at the foot of Edinburgh Castle in the heart of the Grassmarket, the flats itself has no windows facing onto the busy square so its amazingly quiet when things get lively. Its part of a secured courtyard so its safe too. In all, a very comfortable way to enjoy all that Scotland's capital city has to offer.
This third floor apartment is in a secured and gated complex with wonderful views at every angle. The accommodation has been newly decorated and furnished to make a wonderfully cosy pied a terre in the heart of the ancient city. A comfortable open plan sitting/dining/kitchen has fantastic roofscape views. There is now High Definition TV, a stereo and a Sonos music system for our guests. Free secured WiFi is also included.Please note Wi-Fi at this property is complimentary. The kitchen has been well-equipped with oven, hob and microwave and plenty of cutlery and crockery for those wishing to dine in though with so much choice on your doorstep we are willing to bet that most will succumb to the temptation of trying a different restaurant every night! There is also a washing machine.
The bedroom has a kingsize bed. A smart shower room with wash hand basin and toilet completes the accommodation.
This property has a travel cot. Due to safety reasons, we do not provide linens/bedding for the cot and kindly ask that you bring your own.

fantastic location, flat was comfortable and just the right size. The bottle of wine was a welcomed touch after a long flight

I think we must have stayed in a different apartment to the other reviews. Yes the apartment was an ideal situation for sightseeing and the block was as expected. The apartment itself was grubby and very tired - it could be so lovely if a little time was spent on it. Very little storage space - the large wardrobe was full of things (i.e. cot,ironing board, airing rack etc.) so not much room for our clothes. Beside cabinets very small and had hairdryer and other applicances and plugs inside. Suitcases had to stand in the bedroom. The cooker was very dirty, crockery chipped, heater in lounge did not work. Very Disappointed.

We'd been to a different apartment in the same complex previously so knew the location was excellent - looking out at the castle and close to everywhere we needed to be, yet out of the hustle and bustle.
The owners were lovely (they let us check out late at short notice, and looked for lost sunglasses for us) and the booking process was fast and efficient.
The flat was well-equipped, warm and excellent value - we'll definitely be back!

We couldn't have hoped for a better location. The flat is situated right in the heart of things, with a fantastic view of the castle. All the main attractions of this wonderful city are within easy walking distance, as are shops, restaurants, pubs, cinemas and theatres.
The flat itself is small but comfortable, and despite being in a busy area, the gated community in which it is located ensures a quiet and restful stay. The price is very reasonable given the location.
Been two years running and enjoyed it so much that we've just booked again for next year!
