The Space:
Greyfriars Kirkyard is right outside your window - one of Edinburgh's most storied corners, where centuries of history press up against cobblestone lanes and the city hums quietly below. This second-floor apartment puts you at the intersection of Old Town atmosphere and everyday convenience, a rare position for a stay in Scotland's capital.
The living space
The apartment is compact and well-considered, with everything arranged for a comfortable stay. Natural light filters in over the rooftops, and the city skyline and garden views give the space a sense of place that a featureless hotel room simply cannot offer. A dining table provides a spot to eat in, plan your days, or simply sit with a coffee and watch the city wake up.
Sleeping arrangements
One king-sized bed dressed in soft, hotel-quality linens awaits after long days of exploring. The bedroom includes clothing storage, hangers, and bed linens - the practical details that make a stay feel settled rather than transient.
Kitchen & dining
The full kitchen is genuinely equipped for cooking. You will find a refrigerator, freezer, oven, stove, microwave, hot water kettle, toaster, and coffee maker, along with cooking basics including pots, pans, oil, salt, and pepper. Wine glasses and a baking sheet round out the kit, so whether you are putting together a simple breakfast or a proper meal, the tools are there.
Bathroom
Plush towels are provided, along with hair dryer, shampoo, body soap, shower gel, and cleaning products. Hot water is reliable - a small thing that matters after a full day on Edinburgh's hills.
Practical details
The apartment includes Wi-Fi, a smart TV, washer, iron, heating, smoke alarm, and carbon monoxide alarm. Luggage drop-off is available for guests with early arrivals or late departures, and long-term stays of 28 days or more are welcome.
Getting around
Picturesque Victoria Street is a 5 minute walk away from the apartment, grab a coffee as you saunter down leading to Grassmarket where you could stop for a spot of lunch and people watching. The apartment is also around a 15 minute walk from Waverley Station making it handy for traveling to and around Edinburgh.
A local landmark worth knowing
For those unfamiliar with the story, Greyfriars Bobby was a loyal dog who gained popularity due to him spending his remaining years guarding the grave of his owner. He is commemorated by a statue just outside of this apartment where you will notice his gold nose, give it a rub and good luck is said to come your way!
