This apartment is right in the middle of everything! You step outside and you are at the bottom of Victoria Street. Several Islander stores, Edinburgh castle, and many places to eat and shop. We started our days by making our own breakfast at our apartment. All pots, pans and utensils were provided, including milk and orange juice in the fridge from Fiona. Everything was clean and we felt very safe within the apartment as well as outside in Grassmarket.
Our apartment was at the bottom of Victoria Street! Everyone is so friendly here!

What a great location for seeing Edinburgh! There you are next to Grass market shops and restaurants,Victoria sheet and an easy walk to the castle and royal mile. Our host gave me fantastic walking directions from the train station avoiding the stairs and a steep climb with my suitcases. Easy! The proximity to groceries was fine. There are steps up to the apartment but not too bad. Security is great. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the sights of Edinburgh in this conveniently located apartment in a close behind Mussel and Steak ( which was a great place to eat by the way!) a superb location for exploring this super interesting city. This was a great pick for us!

What a great location!

What a great location and lovely apartment! Everything we needed was included and we loved being able to walk to everything including dinner at Howie’s and Bertie’s, up the hill to the Royal Mile and the cemetery on the other side. The apartment was so well appointed that we needed nothing for quick meal prep and clean up even down to the body wash and a little olive oil and laundry pods! Thanks so much for a wonderful time in Edinburgh and we would definitely recommend to others.
This is literally steps from the apartment. So easy! Victoria Street
Living area was much more spacious than anticipated!

Lovely stay!

Fiona's flat was the perfect location for us to explore Edinburgh during our time there. It's literally directly off the Grassmarket at the foot of Victoria Street - plenty of shops and restaurants. Easy walking distance to popular locations in Old and New Town. The flat was just as described and had all the amenities you'd need. While we didn't make use of the kitchen for cooking, having the kettle and french press available for coffee and tea was perfect. (Fiona, thank you for having tea bags, coffee and milk available for us, and for the delicious tea cakes as a treat!) If we are ever back in the area, we would rebook this flat with Fiona in a heartbeat.

What a fantastic stay!

Personally we felt like the property was even more roomy than the pictures showed (often the reverse can be true). Everything was very clean and full of amenities. You walk right out onto the Grassmarket area and the start of Bow/Victoria St, so just a great location to explore. Tons of shops, restaurants, pubs right there, and good groceries are very close by as well. The host (Fiona) was very helpful and responsive. We'd highly recommend staying here! Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Edinburgh Gem in Grass Market

Could not ask for a better location in all of Edinburgh as Grass Market is where you want to be. The Apartment itself as well as communication is as good as it gets, and we've rented several throughout Europe over the years. If you are looking for a full-size Apartment equipped with everything you need, look no further than less beautiful Apartment. We would rent it again in a heartbeat. We were there for 6 days and had a great time in this wonderful city. Thanks Fiona for all your help.

We had a wonderful stay in Edinburgh. Fiona was great with communication prior to our arrival. I was a little confused as how to get into the flat, but I was able to call and she helped me get in with no problems. I would recommend this flat to any person or couple looking to stay in the heart of Edinburgh.

About the host

Hosted by Fiona

Host profile image
I am a working mother living in Edinburgh. I grew up in Aberdeen in Scotland and have since lived and travelled in Azerbaijan, Australia and Finland. I've now been back in Scotland and in this fantastic city for many years, and I can really say that Edinburgh feels like our home.
There are so many hidden places to discover in (and around) Edinburgh, it constantly surprises me even after years of living here.

I look forward to sharing this beautiful city with you. :D

Why they chose this property

It's a beautiful mix between modern and traditional. A historic 200 year old building with all the luxury of modern living! I love that the apartment is right in the city centre and that you can experience all the buzz of the city by foot.
