Edinburgh Waverley station is 2 km away, and Edinburgh Airport is 11 km. The Real Mary King's Close and Playhouse are 2 km from the apartment. The immediate surroundings are quiet and tranquil, yet the Royal Mile, Holyrood Park, and Edinburgh Castle are easily reachable on foot.

Local grocery stores and several cafés (including Red Kite Cafe, GoN Vietnamese, and Think Pastry) are within 0.5 km, adding everyday convenience.

Accommodation

The apartment includes one separate bedroom with a UK double bed (4'6" x 6'3"), a living room, and one private bathroom.
The bedroom is furnished with a UK double bed (4'6" by 6'3") - note that the bed dimensions are smaller than a US double. The living room features a seating area, heating, and a TV with streaming services. The private bathroom includes a hairdryer. The entire flat is well-equipped and decorated in a personalized, stylish manner that feels homely. The space is spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a quiet, tranquil atmosphere.

Dining

A fully equipped kitchen with stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and coffee machine supports self-catering for every meal.
The kitchen is stocked with cookware, kitchen utensils, an electric kettle, and tea/coffee facilities, making it easy to prepare full meals.

The property does not have an on-site restaurant or bar.

The property sits behind Holyrood Castle, with Holyrood Park offering extensive green space, walking trails, and Arthur's Seat for hill walking.
