SPACIOUS FLAT, CLOSE TO THE CITY CENTRE WITH SCENIC VIEWS, Edinburgh

The apartment sits on a main road with a bus stop directly outside, providing frequent services to Princes Street in 5-10 minutes and to Portobello Beach. Edinburgh's central attractions, including the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle and the Edinburgh Playhouse, are all within a 30-minute walk or a short bus ride. The surrounding area offers a hypermarket, shops, pubs and restaurants within a few minutes' walk. For those arriving by car, the host can advise on free street parking spaces on nearby Marionville Avenue and Marionville Road; long-stay parking is not available on site. Edinburgh Airport is 11 km away and reachable by bus or taxi.

This top-floor flat features two comfortable bedrooms with good-quality beds that are frequently noted for their comfort. The main living area offers a large window with panoramic city views towards Arthur's Seat and Holyrood Park. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils, a refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, microwave and a washing machine, making self-catering straightforward. The bathroom is compact with a washbasin and shower; some find the sink small. The apartment provides free WiFi, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, heating and an allergy-free, non-smoking environment. The property suits families (children welcome) and groups of up to 4 adults, with a sofa bed available if needed. The flat is on a main road but remains reasonably quiet due to double glazing.

A continental-style breakfast can be brought directly to the flat for a fee, but the large kitchen with full-size fridge, oven, hob and microwave makes preparing your own meals easy. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of pots, pans and utensils. Guests can arrange grocery deliveries (additional charge) through the host. The immediate neighbourhood has a hypermarket just behind the building, plus a supermarket, pubs and restaurants within a 1-km radius - including Angelo's (0.5 km), Cherry's Cafe (1 km) and several dining options on the main road.

Holyrood Park is just 5 minutes away, offering hiking trails up Arthur's Seat and around the park. The apartment is also a good base for cycling, walking and exploring the city on foot along the main road to the Royal Mile. For organised activities, nearby options include golf courses within 3 km, horse riding, canoeing and fishing, all off-site. The flat has board games and movie nights (paid, on-site) for in-house entertainment.
