    A beautiful old house with so much charm and character spread over three floors. The rooms are large and comfortable, check in process was easy and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you would need for a few days stay with a large group....

    The location to everything was amazing, and the house gorgeous. Would highly recommend! Especially for travelers from abroad that want to experience a British city house at its best. Everywhere you looked there was fun art and mirrors, every room...

This grand central Town House will make your visit to Edinburgh special! Built in the 1860s, our soaring Victorian mansion is ideal for a relaxing stay being a very large, elegant and historic, three story town house (sleeps 2 - 20) in the very heart of Edinburgh, eliminating the need for taxis. Princes St, George St (the Moulin Rouge district of Northern Europe!) and Haymarket Railway station, all ten minutes on foot. With latest broadband upgrade super fast wifi too.
I am married with two children Charlie and Rosella and try to create sculptures when I have a free moment from letting out two houses and cleaning baby bottles. Things that I have done that I am proud of: married a lovely girl and now mother, completed the London Marathon, managed to change a Christmas nappy without too much mess, and share an exhibition at Falmouth Art Gallery with Matisse and others in a group show about artists who have overcome adversities called Soaring Spirits. Dreams: going back to Venice and Sicily. I am rarely in the building but live nearby .
Now that the trams are up and running, you can take the tram from the Airport to Haymarket station, from where it is a 7 minute walk on foot to the house. There is also an excellent bus service in the area. A taxi rank can be found at Haymarket Station or in front of the Caledonian Hotel at the end of Princes St, both within easy walking distance of 2 Chester St. Regarding parking, you can park outside the house on the single yellow lines or Parking Residents' section from 6.30 pm on Saturday until Monday 08.30 am. On the double yellow lines or disabled sections you might be fined at ANY time, day or night. Alternatively, you can feed the meters ie. pay during the day or park about a mile away which is free.
