Beautiful 2-bedroomed 1800s apartment in fabulous central Edinburgh - sleeps 4
About this condo rental
Nestled in Edinburgh, this lovely condo for $359 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. Relax and enjoy your vacation in Anthemion Apartment Edinburgh, our beautiful first-floor apartment in Edinburgh's historic New Town. Our high-ceilinged Georgian flat combines original features and antique furniture with an up-to-the-minute kitchen and large shower room. Although you can chill in our lovely residential area, you'll be within walking distance of many of Edinburgh's amazing sights, and can get here easily accessible from railway and bus stations and the airport. You'll love being close to the action but enjoy the luxury of retreating to the comfort and peace of Anthemion. We have free wifi, and an excellent selection of board games, books and guidebooks if you decide to have some time out from sightseeing. The high windows give a light, airy aspect, but you can still sit cozily in front of our living flame fire to while away the time. Our kitchen is state of the art, equipped with an induction hob, fridge-freezer, oven, microwave and plate warming oven, and even a wine fridge, and we really hope to provide you with everything you could need during your stay. And there's a dishwasher and washing machine to lighten the load! The dining area is modern and roomy for a convivial evening in. Our spacious bedrooms are normally configured as one super kingsize and two single beds, but you can opt for two super kings or four singles, depending on your needs. There are plenty of shopping opportunities, from little antique shops close by, to designer boutiques on George Street and department stores in Princes Street. You can go on foot to visit Edinburgh's museums, many of which are free, and a short stroll takes you to the Royal Botanical Gardens. There's no shortage of restaurants, and you are close to the beautiful Dean Village and trendy Stockbridge. For couples and groups of friends, there are excellent restaurants and bars close by. Families will enjoy having a swing park for the children just a short walk away, and plenty of hands-on child-friendly activities in the National Museum of Scotland (who says museums have to be boring!) or laughing in the Camera Obscura. Edinburgh Buses are free to children under 5! The New Town itself is a UN World Heritage Site and has some magnificent, elegant architecture. A feast for the eyes! It's easy to get to us - just a five-minute walk from the tram and bus stations (the tram goes out to the airport) and 15 minutes from Waverley train station. For weekend visitors, on-street parking is free from Friday evening until Monday at 8:30am

This apartment was so roomy for our family of 4. Our two teens had the twin beds in one bedroom, and my husband and I had the other bedroom with the king bed. The bathroom is so spacious, had plenty of counter space for the 4 of us. The kitchen was also roomy and very sleek. There is a Tesco right around the corner for snacks and drinks. We felt like we were out of the business of the city, but close enough to walk to most of the things we wanted to see. We would love to stay here again in the future!

Lovely fully-equipped flat.
Beds & pillows were extra comfy... with extra blankets & throws for those chilly nights.
The flat is within walking distance to most sites and convenient shops ( grocery/bakery etc) around the corner.

The apartment was beautiful, comfortable,
Spotlessly clean and in a great location. Everything we needed for a great stay was provided (apart from the weather!) and after a great day sightseeing, coming back to the cosy and warm apartment was lovely. We would definitely stay again.

An absolute pleasure to stay in this beautiful apt for 4 days. Fully equipped with everything you need (and more). Communication with owner and property manager was excellent. Perfect location.

We spent a wonderful week in this elegant apartment, brilliantly situated in the heart of Edinburgh’s Georgian New Town. It was the perfect base to explore all the city has to offer from the delights of Dean Village and Stockbridge all the way up to the historic Royal Mile and the Castle. The apartment was beautifully furnished with the perfect mix of charming antiques and contemporary comforts including a stunning kitchen. We would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone coming to explore Edinburgh.
5.0
Only occasionally do I stay in a rental property that I could imagine living in permanently, but this was certainly one. Encompassing the entire 1st floor (or 2nd floor to we Americans) of the building, it was a splendid mix of old/Georgian and new. A modern bath and kitchen, both very well outfitted, meant all the creature comforts of today. But the other rooms evoked the heritage of New Town. Central Edinburgh was just a short walk (uphill) away, but several bus lines served the street. And communication with the host was fabulous. Comfortable and quite, this is one to come back to.

What an incredible time we had staying at your house in Edinburgh. It was a short walk from everything we wanted to see. We especially loved the high ceilings and spaciousness of the apartment. It was very clean, updated and accommodating. Thank you for sharing your home.

We had the best time - the flat is lovely. It's spacious and quiet, and we hated to leave!

Jan, the owner, and Jon, the property manager, were wonderful to deal with and the apartment was a home away from home. The neighborhood was very nice and quiet, but only a ten minute walk to the Old Town and Royal Mile. Would love to stay there again when we return to Scotland.

Beautiful space and just a short walk to the sights and lots of great restaurants.
5.0
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the apartment and the location was perfect. It is close to the excitement but not too busy as being in the exact center. It’s a short walk to everything you could want, but still quite in the evenings so you can decompress after a long day.
The only surprise we had was that 1st floor is not ground level (as we sometimes think in the states) so be prepared to bring the luggage up one flight of stairs. This was not a negative, we just didn’t know the “lingo”, which was completely on us. We would definitely stay here again as the apartment and the hosts were lovely and offered a wonderful stay.
5.0
Loved this place, right amount of old world charm with all the modern conveniences you need for your stay. Great location just a short walk to so many things to do, see or shop. Jan and Jon were great communicators. Couldn’t have had a better stay while we were in Edinburgh.
5.0
Lovely stay close to all amenities and equipped with all that one needs to enjoy the comfort of having a “home base” amidst day touring. Grocery and restaurants all in proximity. Remember to bring disposable dish cloths for the kitchen (something one would not want to share with other renters anyway!) and remember washcloths are not widely used in UK so you may wish to bring your own. We were able to pack light with washer available. Highly recommend - clean flat and lovely building with such friendly people - our flight home was cancelled and the tenants below were so kind to us after we checked out!

We couldn’t have chosen a better place to spend our first time in Edinburgh. The flat is situated in new town, a lovely calm neighbourhood 10 minutes walk uphill to the city centre with many shops and restaurants nearby. The flat was clean, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Jan is a great host, easy to communicate with and she provided lots of useful information. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again and I would highly recommend it to anyone planning to stay in Edinburgh.

What an apartment,what a location, everything nearby, you couldn't ask for more. Host was very responsive and checked in with us to make sure all is well. I'm coming back.

The apartment was beautifully decorated and had all the needed amenities. The beds were comfortable with down pillows which we do not prefer but, overall it was comfortable. It was conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood as well. We enjoyed our stay!
5.0
Very nice place. Communication was good. Instructions for everything except the radiator heaters which took a while to figure out how to turn down or off. Only thing we didn't like was the primary bedroom was 2 twins pushed together and fitted with a king sheet--all good so far. But then on the top they put two twin comforters. And that's it. Why not a King top sheet and a King blanket? Also the master bedding had seen better days so we switched some with the secondary bedroom. Minor complaints. Lovely place!

The flat was perfect for our family of 4. It is light filled and comfortable. The neighborhood is great with many restaurants and grocery options within walking distance. We had a wonderful visit and would definitely book again.

Anthemion is a large, spacious, comfortable apartment in the heart of Edinburgh New Town. Ideal for exploring this lovely city whilst feeling part of a local neighbourhood.

The property was as advertised. It was clean, well cared for, and in a stunning location. The property owners were attentive and accommodated us when we arrived early. I would not hesitate to stay there again!

The apartment was perfect for our needs. Everything was clean and the apartment has beautiful high ceilings and large windows so it’s light and bright (but great interior shutters for dark room for sleeping). The kitchen had everything needed to cook at home if you want. We loved the location in New Town - close to several stores, but quiet too. I would highly recommend this apartment to any one looking to visit Edinburgh and would stay here again if I’m ever lucky enough to get back to Edinburgh!

Everything about our stay here was delightful. Both the property owner and the property manager were wonderful to work with. The flat was clean, beautifully decorated and very comfortable.

Can’t say enough about this property! My family and I had to pivot a bit given the riots in Paris and chose to visit Edinburgh instead. It might have been the highlight of the trip! The host was wonderful and the apartment was incredible. Very spacious. Superb amenities. Excellent decor. Comfortable beds. Quiet street. Easy to get anywhere on foot from here. Highly recommend. Slainte!!

This place was immaculate!! Owner extremely friendly and helpful and the flat had everything we needed. Very comfortable and within 5 to 10 min walk of all the shopping, royal mile and castle activities. We will definitely be staying again! Thank you!

A perfect 2-bed 1 bath Edinburgh mansion apartment with a spacious living room and an exceptional kitchen/diner. The owner really has pulled out all the stops and decorated their place as if they wanted to live there. It's very tasteful, totally functional, and equipped so that you need not bring anything with you aside from your clothes.
Parking is easy, especially if you're here over the weekend, as the spaces outside are free to park from 5:30pm Friday to 8am Monday. The proximity to the city centre was ideal. Uphill, but ideal, and the neighbourhood is clean and upmarket.
I'd not leave a glowing review if it guaranteed the next time we came this apartment was available, but Janice is owed the highest accolade for providing the perfect venue for the perfect weekend getaway. Thanks, Jan.
We'll be back.
