Fantastic, quiet location on the historic Royal Mile in Edinburgh's Old Town - the heart of Festivals, galleries, events, sightseeing and a short walk to the Castle or Holyrood Park for endless outdoor activities - walking, hill climbing, loch fishing and more. Living on the thrilling Royal Mile, you still get a good night’s sleep as the peaceful apartment is at the back of the building with magical views over Edinburgh. Under 5 mins walk from Waverley Station, the airport bus and tram.
My Co-host will be available for any help or queries you may have during your stay.
