Outstanding large drawing room apartment with beautiful outlooks to private gardens, within 10-15 minutes walk to Princes Street.
This first floor apartment is within a converted town house circa 1890 and is decorated to a very high standard, retaining many period features including ornate cornicing and wooden panelling.
The apartment enjoys a quiet location on South Learmonth Gardens, a traditional cobbled street overlooking private gardens with mature trees. The trendy area of Stockbridge with boutique shops, popular bars/restaurants, Waitrose and Sunday Market is less than a 5 minute walk.
The property consists of a large drawing (living) room, hallway, two double bedrooms, kitchen, and several large storage cupboards. The drawing room has an office/study area with desk.
The rent includes all utilities - electricity, gas, Virgin Media cable TV, high-speed broadband/Wifi, telephone and linen/towels. The apartment also has a DVD player.
The rent also includes access to the private Learmonth Gardens opposite the apartment, ideal for BBQs or to relax under the trees.

I have stayed here a number of times and it is my favourite place to stay in Edinburgh. Lovely big lounge, comfortable beds, wifi and quiet. Easy to get into town and nice views. Splendid and thoroughly recommended.

We've just enjoyed a 3 night break at this great apartment. We have two young children and it was ideal - spacious lounge, warm and plenty of room for sleeping (there is also a travel cot and high chair that you can use). The apartment is spotless and well equipped. The views over Edinburgh from the lounge are great, and it only takes 10-15 mins to walk to the attractions of the city. We'd certainly stay again!

A lovely comfortable apartment in a great location. It was very quiet and away from the hurly burly of Edinburgh traffic. We loved the views out of the large bay window, which I'm sure are even better in
the summer.There are some great eating places all within easy walking distance. All in all a great place to stay.

An immaculate apartment overlooking gardens, front and rear of the property. Handy for the city and The Water of Leith Walkway. Nearby restaurant, Channings, reccommended by the owners (and previous guests) is great and Waitrose a short walk away. Looking forward to a return visit in the near future.

A comfortable and spacious apartment within walking distance (or a short bus ride) of Princes St. An ideal spot for our family of two adults and two teens (17 and 13) to see the sights. Away from the main bustle, a great place to relax and unwind after a busy day. Well equipped with everything we needed and handy for Waitrose for supplies.

The apartment is extremely clean and bright and very well organized. Great old refinished floors, high ceilings with wonderful crown mouldings. It is in a great location, close to the city bus up around the corner to the right. Great restaurant, Channings, a couple doors to the left. Close to Stockbridge. This an apartment we would stay in again without hestitation. Loved it.

This apartment is like a home from home. It has everything you need and is really comfortable. The location is fantastic for walking to the shopping areas or there is a lovely walk to the art galleries along the river. You also have lots of nice places to eat near by. We'll be back!

We (2 adults, 2 children) had a very enjoyable stay here. Very highly recommended - the location is just right with easy access to the New Town and to Stockbridge, the apartment is in immaculate shape, and the owners are very friendly and helpful indeed.
We'll definitely try to get this one for the next time around in Edinburgh.

A really lovely stay! The neighborhood was quiet and a bit removed from the hustle and bustle of town but easily accessible to the town center by bus or foot. The apartment was beautifully decorated, comfortable, and stocked with the amenities.
The owners were friendly, responsive, and provided loads of information and recommendations for the surrounding area.
Would definitely stay again.

The apartment was absolutely fantastic, very spacious and excellently furnished. We had a great time in Edinburgh and the apartment made the experience even better. It was ideally located to see all the city has to offer. We hope to visit Edinburgh again soon and hopefully we will be able to stay in this apartment again.

The apartment was better than I expected. It was extremely clean and inviting. Had everything I needed for an enjoyable stay. One of the most comfortable beds I have slept in. Good water pressure from the shower.
The owner made sure I settled in and had everything I needed.
I especially liked the high ceilings, the large lounge, the bay windows facing down onto the small park (between south learmonth gardens and the next road down). The gas fireplace gives the lounge a very cosy feel at night.
Can recommend.
