Neighbourhood
Set on the top of The Royal Mile, right beside the famous Edinburgh Castle it is hard to do the neighborhood justice. Steeped in history with stories hidden around every corner it's a truly magical location. Plenty of cozy cafes, bars and traditional pubs are at hand as well as some of the oldest and most beautiful buildings in Edinburgh. My favourite cafe is just behind the flat, Scott's Kitchen on Victoria Terrace, the prettiest street in Edinburgh. A wee gem of a local pub is the Jolly Judge, in James Court, hidden down a side street opposite the flat.

About
This beautifully atmospheric and wonderfully located apartment will set visitors' hearts racing. Set in a historic close at the top of the world-famous Royal Mile, this apartment offers guests a wonderful insight into Edinburgh's Old Town, whilst not scrimping on modern comforts. We strongly recommend you do not bring a car as there is no parking nearby and you are central to everything the Old To
Space
The apartment is a duplex and on the second floor. Please note - there is no lift. There are some stairs to climb so this apartment might not be suitable for people with mobility issues. It has been recently refurbished. On the ground floor, you will find a well-equipped modern kitchen overlooking the courtyard with a hob, oven, microwave, fridge, freezer, kettle, toaster, washing machine and a small table with 4 x chairs. The bright and airy bathroom has a bath, shower, sink, and toilet. The elegant lounge looks over the Royal Mile, yet it is made lovely and peaceful due to the secondary glazing. On the second floor, you will find two large bedrooms, both with king-size beds. Bedroom one looks over the hustle and bustle of the Royal Mile, and has lots of storage space, a desk and a window seat for watching the world go by. Please note: the secondary glazing is good for blocking sound, but there is some noise from below. Bedroom two looks out to Riddles Court, a step back in time! Both bedrooms are cozy and traditional. There is also a sofa bed in the lounge if you want to spread out, but this is only really suitable for adults on their own or children.
