About this apartment rental

This spacious top-floor apartment offers comfortable accommodation for up to 6 guests, with 3 well-appointed bedrooms. The double bedroom features a double bed, the master bedroom has a king-size bed and en-suite, and the third bedroom includes two single beds. The master bedroom also provides ample storage, perfect for stowing away all your shopping and souvenirs.



A second bathroom includes both a bath and shower, ensuring a relaxing experience after a day of exploring. The open-plan living and dining area is ideal for entertaining guests or giving children plenty of space to play. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need, and the apartment’s skylight windows and hard flooring create a bright, inviting atmosphere filled with natural light.



Located on the top floor, the apartment offers peace and quiet at night, and stunning daytime views from your own private balcony. No need to worry about stairs, as there is an elevator to take you up from the ground floor—though once inside the apartment, a flight of stairs leads up to the main landing and corridor connecting all rooms.



Important note: The building features an elevator to the 4th floor, but a small flight of stairs inside the apartment must be climbed to reach the main living area.



Our check-in method is simple and convenient: Self-check-in is the only option, with the key securely stored in a key safe at the property.



Parking is not offered by us but you can find paid public parking in nearby streets.



The apartment's location is unbeatable. Edinburgh's famous Royal Mile is just a short walk away, along with a wide range of attractions within 15 minutes, including Edinburgh Castle, St Giles’ Cathedral, Arthur's Seat, and plenty of historic sites, whisky tastings, bars, eateries, and shops.



Please note a security deposit registration will need to be completed prior to arrival in order to receive the codes for check-in, no money is actually charged but there is a pre-authorization of 1 euro, this is not applicable for Airbnb bookings.



Please note: a Visitor Levy set by the local council applies to overnight stays in this area and is included in your total booking price. In Edinburgh this is 5% of the accommodation cost per night, applied to the first 5 nights of your stay. It appears as a separate line in your price breakdown — there is nothing extra to pay on arrival.

Right in the heart of the royal mile - excellent location- close to activities and great restaurants . Slept 5 comfortably - beds are super comfortable and space was immaculate . The views were great and it was a bonus to have the outside space. I would recommend to any family or group looking to visit Edinburgh !

The flat is *ON* the Royal Mile, in a loft only a block or so from St. Giles. Views of Arthur's seat in one direction, and the Mile (and its buskers) in the other.It's on the fifth floor. There is a lift, but a total of 1-1/2 flights of steps before and after. The full flight is rather steep, but we 80-ish grandparents were able to handle it.Very comfortable, very cozy. The listing is accurate and the photos truly represent the place. Well-equipped (three wine openers!). Nice little porch with a "chim chim cherie" view of the rooftops of Scotland.The noise of the Mile rises up to the place, but not oppressively so, and the Mile becomes ghostly quiet in the evening and doesn't pick up again until well into the morning. One could wish the piper at the corner had a larger repertoire of songs, but that's not under the landlord's control.The price for this flat is high; we booked at the last minute, and probably would have declined if there had been an alternative; but our stay was enjoyable. If you want to be right there in the middle of the action, this is your spot.

Absolutely charming flat on the Royal Mile. Central location made getting around a breeze and the accommodations were comfortable. Took a little getting used to UK appliances for us Americans, but honestly, that was part of the charm.

The rooms are as pictured and the location was in the heart of it all.The place was comfortable but I would not call it a penthouse (it was an attic conversion) and would not call it luxury.I would say it’s cozy and convenient.We had to go up 5 flights of stairs which was ok- the smell in the stairwell was not. The carpet has seen its better days. I am ok with patina, but I was expecting a higher level of quality.For the same price , we could have stayed in a ritzy hotel, which was disappointing. Also, a trend of only 1 roll of TP per bathroom seems to be the norm in vacation rentals in Scotland, that wasn’t enough for 6 people over 3 days.It was my first time there and so I based my decision on the description and pictures.I would recommend it at a price point that reflects the overall experience, not as it was presented. I would not have paid as much for this place had I’d known the full picture.
