Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Plan for the 88-step climb to the fourth-floor apartment - the castle view from the living room is worth the effort, but less suitable for those with mobility concerns or heavy luggage.

  • 02

    Request check-in before 15:00 if needed - early access is not guaranteed, but the host may message you if the apartment is ready.

  • 03

    Use the bus stop right outside or the 18-minute walk to Edinburgh Waverley station for easy city-centre access.
