About this property
A lovely one-bed apartment in a quiet courtyard just off the Grassmarket. Sleeps 2.
This lovely one-bedroom, first-floor apartment is converted from the former Traverse Theatre and situated just off the Grassmarket in a quiet courtyard right in the heart of the city’s Old Town. Sitting at the bottom of Victoria Street - one of the city’s most beautiful and photographed streets in the city, and home to numerous independent restaurants and cafes, historic pubs, quirky boutiques, and specialist shops. With all of the main attractions just outside your door, you’re perfectly placed for a visit to Scotland’s capital.
The lounge featuring a Juliet balcony is comfortably furnished with a cosy sofa, dining table and chairs, flat-screen TV and offers unlimited complimentary WiFi. Just across the hall is the bright, modern kitchen where you’ll find everything you need to cater your holiday, including microwave, oven/hob, fridge and washing machine. The welcoming, roomy bedroom offers a comfy double bed, and a smart, white family bathroom with an over-bath shower completes this fabulously located holiday home.
Please note we do not provide hypoallergenic bedding at our properties.
The Royal Mile is just a stone’s throw away, and the site of Edinburgh’s major sights such as Edinburgh Castle, Mary King's Close, St. Giles Cathedral, Holyrood Palace, The Scottish Parliament Building and Scotland's major galleries and museums including the Scotch Whisky Experience. It is also within easy walking distance from Edinburgh's principal shopping area, Princes Street and George Street.

This property operates a key safe, so you can let yourself into the property any time after 4pm. The key safe code will be issued before your arrival.
If you are arriving earlier than 16:00 on your day of arrival, it is always worth contacting the property manager as they will always endeavour to give you access as soon as possible.
The latest departure time is 11:00, however, a guaranteed later departure (up to 20:00) can be arranged for a fee of 50% of the daily rate for that day but please note this is subject to no existing booking arriving that day already.
