About this property

The Edinburgh Rooftop Terrace

This stunning central Edinburgh apartment is one of the city's most unique stays with unrivalled views of Edinburgh Castle on your own private South facing terrace.

The apartment is located in the heart of the city on Rose Street and ideal if you want to explore the city or relax in the sunshine all day on your very own large private terrace.

"This is THE place to stay in Edinburgh! It was newly remodeled and beyond comfortable with everything you could possibly need. This flat had killer views of Edinburgh castle and was literally a skip away from tons of great pubs and restaurants. I cannot wait to come back and if this fabulous place isn’t booked up, it will be my go to!" Julia - June 2021

"Absolutely loved our time at this property. The apartment is better than the pictures and is perfectly located. The living area is modern and allows you chill when you want a break from seeing the city. Lloyd made us feel welcome and we knew he was only a message away. Definitely looking at booking this place again the next time we visit Edinburgh" Thomas - July 2021
