Description

Located on Edinburgh's Royal Mile the apartment is furnished to a high standard with lots of attention to detail to ensure you enjoy a very comfortable and refreshing stay. It's on the 3rd floor of a beautiful old stone building with visitors enjoying spectacular views of both Calton Hill with its eclectic collection of monuments and also of the Royal Mile with Canongate Kirk and its cherry trees in the foreground. Visitors say you feel you are experiencing Edinburgh without even leaving the apartment! The property has real Scandinavian oak flooring in the hallway and living area – and carpets in the bedrooms. Perfectly located on a quiet section of the Royal Mile and with free WIFI and a wide selection of DVD's and books for when you want to relax, the apartment provides a very welcoming and comfortable space for a couple, two singles, a family of up to 4 or alternatively someone happy to chill out on their own!
