Modern and cozy one bedroom flat in the heart of the city, lovely outlook to the castle. Secure entry system Fibre Internet WiFi (50mb/s) Bluetooth speaker PS3 One bedroom, king size bed Sofa bed in lounge Fully fitted kitchen Washer & Dryer The space I love airbnb and will go out of my way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible - please get in touch with me and if I can make it happen I will. The flat is a standard 1 bed (king) size but there is also a sofa bed in the living room I've set the check in and out times as flexible as possible as I realise this can be an annoying element when travelling. Where I can I aim to offer the opportunity to check in early or check out late. Please ask and I'll do my best to accommodate as long as it does not inconvenience other guests. Guest have full use of the flat. Secure high speed (50 mb/s) Wi-Fi, video on demand, and wireless streaming music. The kitchen has all the food basics to rustle up a quick breakfast or create something more involved. I can be on hand as little or as much as the guest would like. I will supply comprehensive info on local pubs, cafes, restaurants and activities to allow you to avoid tourist traps (although Edinburgh is never that bad) and discover local hidden gems. Very central - you'll be on the Royal mile or Princes Street in less than 5 minutes. Although only set back from the bustling Grassmarket about 50m the flat is on the top floor and the bedroom is to the rear so there is minimal street noise. Please note there are 3 flights of stairs and no lift. The postcode is EH1 2RX - its 0.4 miles to the west end of Princes Street, 0.8 miles to the east end of Princes Street, 0.3 miles to the Royal Mile, 0.8 miles to Haymarket train station and 0.7 miles to Waverly train station. Very easy to walk everywhere but Edinburgh has a great bus system. City tour buses also go straight passed the flat through the Grassmarket. Taxi from airport will be approximately £25. Tram or dedicated airlink bus gets you 5-10 minutes walk from the flat. £6.50 single, £9 return. There is a washing machine and a separate dryer available within the flat (and a hair dryer). I will supply towels, hand soap, shampoo & body wash and all bed linen. Guest access Guest have full use of the flat. Secure high speed (50mb/s) Wi-Fi and wireless streaming music through speaker. There is a PS3 with 40+ games and two controllers. The kitchen has all the food basics to rustle up a quick breakfast or create something more involved. The living room has a sofa bed. Other things to note There is a washing machine and a separate dryer available within the flat (and a hair dryer). I will supply towels, hand soap, shampoo & body wash and all bed linen. The flat does have bath (plus electric shower) - however to fill the bath takes quite a bit of time as boiler only holds 10L of water at a time. But bath can be filled via shower or waiting till the 10L heats up every 5-10 minutes.

  Lovely apartment walking distance from the Royal Mile. The space is well appointed and spotless. David was always responsive and cooperative. Nice view of the castle from the bedroom. Would definitely recommend!

  This place went beyond what we were expecting - with essentials and some goodies provided, alongside plenty entertainment for cosy nights and mornings in! Clean and tidy with zero fuss - would absolutely book this place again!

  Such a great place to stay. Everything as advertised and David is accommodating and flexible with bag drops etc. Only concern was the number of steps to the flats. With mobility issues getting up to the flat is difficult. But would highly recommend if able to cope with the stairs. No lift.

  We loved staying here on our trip to Edinburgh. Walkable to all nearby attractions like the royal mile, Victoria Street, edinburgh castle, elephant café, etc. Great food nearby too. Would highly reccomend for anyone passing through. Would stay here again!
