Edinburgh Castle and Princes Street are a 10-minute walk away. The surrounding area offers independent shops, bars, and supermarkets such as Tesco Express and Sainsbury's. For airport access, the tram from Princes Street connects directly, or a 10 km taxi ride. The location is well-connected by bus and tram, making it easy to reach all central attractions on foot or by public transport. Nearby activities include boating, kayaking, and canoeing in the area.

Accommodation

Spacious two-bedroom apartment on the lower ground floor with a private garden, fully equipped kitchen, and comfortable double beds.
The apartment features one living room, two separate bedrooms, and one bathroom with a bath and shower. The main bedroom contains a UK double bed (135 cm x 190 cm) and the second bedroom also has a double bed. No sofa bed is available. The kitchen includes a stovetop, oven, refrigerator, kettle, tea/coffee maker, and all cookware, plus a washing machine. The living area has a dining table, sofa, and a flat-screen TV with streaming services. The apartment has central heating, ironing facilities, and a private entrance. The small bedroom has a window and the lower ground floor layout provides surprising brightness. Guests can enjoy garden views from the apartment and access a private garden with outdoor furniture. The accommodation is well-maintained, with some areas showing gentle wear, and is equipped with free toiletries and quality linens.

Dining

No on-site dining; guests can cook in the fully equipped kitchen or explore nearby cafés and restaurants.
The apartment does not have a restaurant or breakfast service. The fully equipped kitchen allows guests to prepare their own meals, with a stovetop, oven, and all utensils. Several cafés, bakeries, and restaurants are within a short walk, such as Cuckoo's Bakery (0.5 km), Novapizza Vegetarian Kitchen (0.5 km), and The Atholl at The Howard (0.5 km).

Leisure

The apartment offers a private garden and proximity to outdoor activities such as boating, kayaking, and canoeing.
While there is no on-site pool, spa, or gym, the apartment provides a private garden with outdoor seating - a rare urban amenity. The surrounding area in Edinburgh offers opportunities for boating, kayaking, and canoeing, likely along the Water of Leith or nearby lakes. The quiet neighbourhood is ideal for peaceful walks, and the Royal Botanic Garden within easy walking distance adds to the leisure options.
