Neighbourhood
The flat is in the very city centre of Edinburgh, a year-round destination that has so much to offer. It is nestled in just under the iconic Edinburgh Castle. The Castle, National Museum and National Galleries are within walking distance, as are various music venues and shopping. Should you like to enjoy Holyrood Palace, Holyrood Park or the Crags and Arthur's Seat, then this is a simple 20-minute walk. This property is also ideally located to explore the wonders of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The flat benefits from being next to the Grassmarket down the road, where many bars and restaurants are. From there, Victoria Street, a lovely shopping street with independent boutiques takes you to the Royal Mile. Please take a look at my guidebook for recommended places to eat and drink in the area! There are quite a few venues nearby including the Usher Hall, the Lyceum, and the Traverse that are hosting shows during the festival. It's centrally located with all the city's amenities a short walk away. From nearby Lothian road, you can catch buses to other parts of the city areas such as Leith. I love the neighbourhood, the castle is everywhere you look as we are so close to it. It's a vibrant area with a variety of shops and bars and a great buzz. The supermarket is very close just 4 minutes up the road. The nearby cafe - "Lovecrumbs" is a trendy and very popular cafe with an ever-changing daily selection of quirky and tasty homemade cakes, including vegan options, featuring unusual ingredients like Rosemary and Lavender! Yum! The mix of shops includes vintage clothes and furniture, second-hand books, gifts, and Scottish designer clothes. My favourite restaurant and cocktail bar is the "Timberyard", expensive but worth it, with its adventurous modern take on Scottish food and cocktails. There is also a farmers market in Castle Terrace every Saturday.

Space
My flat is on the 2nd floor (38 steps) of a traditional Edinburgh tenement building, located on one of the main streets leading to Grassmarket Square; a lively and charming Old Town hub. It is accessible via a hidden private garden and bridge that offers respite from the buzz of the city. The flat itself is very cosy and decorated to make you feel at home. Bedroom: The bedroom is very quiet as it faces the garden entrance within the building. My cleaner will make the beds using hotel-quality linen and towels will also be provided. There is a writing table, perfect for working travellers, and plenty of bedroom storage in one of the built-in wardrobes and the bedside drawers. Living Area & Kitchen: The living room is an open space connected to the kitchen. The kitchen itself is well equipped with the usual small appliances and cooking utensils, should you wish to cook during your stay. The living area has a comfortable sofa, which can double up as a sofa bed at your request. There is also a TV in here with Virgin Cable so you can relax after a long day exploring the incredible city of Edinburgh. Bathroom: The bathroom has a bath and overhead shower. Shampoo, conditioner and shower gel will be provided, giving you one less thing to pack! Guests will have access to the entire property. Please note check-in runs from 4 pm to 10 pm.
