Breathtaking Views from Spacious Modern Penthouse in Center of Edinburgh

This four bedroom penthouse apartment, minutes from Waverly Station, The Royal Mile, Princes Street and The Royal Botanic Gardens has 270 degree views...from the sunny coast of Fife up to the monuments of Calton Hill. From the moment you enter this flat, you know the space is a special experience. 20 foot ceilings welcome you to the open plan lounge, kitchen and terrace spaces.

The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook up the local fishmonger's daily catch. Breakfast table, dining table, or bar provide plenty of seating. A private hallway encircles the property with four bedrooms, one ensuite, plus an additional family bathroom. Flexible sleeping arrangements mean you can take your pick to suit everyone's needs. One king size, one super king, or four single beds all with plush mattresses, hotel quality sheets, and lots of pillows for a restful night’s sleep! Bathrooms all include fluffy white towels and hand soap. Enjoy this relaxing sophisticated space; a quiet oasis in the city centre. And when you're ready to explore, let the bustling capital city welcome and charm you.

Enjoyed our Stay

We had a great stay at the penthouse property during our trip to Edinburgh. The listing was just as advertised and we enjoyed the wonderful views that came with the property. The host was very accommodating and provided a travel crib for our little one. With 7 people we did not ever feel crowded or on top of one another, and enjoyed the balcony during the unseasonably warm evenings! Would definitely recommend this property and would stay again.

Great place to stay

This was a great place for our short visit to Edinburgh. It was clean, very comfortable and spacious with incredible views to the west. We loved sitting out on the balcony. The location was a bit of a walk to the Royal Mile and Arthur's Seat but not too bad. There was a tram stop just a couple blocks away if we wanted to use that but the walk was nice with great areas to wander through on the way. The host, John, was very responsive and easy to work with.Would definitely recommend this place and would certainly stay there again given the opportunity.

Also many restaurants and grocery stores nearby. A great base to see Edinburgh.

Great apartment with views of Edinburgh

My family of 5 had a wonderful time staying 2 nights in this modern, spacious apartment in new town Edinburgh. Fantastic views! Everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. There is a co-op grocery nearby and laundry in the apartment. I would stay here again for another visit to Edinburgh.

Amazing stay

The location and view can't be beat! Eight of us (two families of four) stayed for three nights. We walked to the train station for a day in Glasgow and loved that we could walk to all the restaurants and shopping. The main living area was wonderful and we kept the double doors to the porch open to feel the cool breeze. The building was quiet and the elevator was a bonus!

Lovely stay

The property was beautiful. The view was stunning. The rooms were all comfortable. It was a nice quiet street but close enough to the tram, and still walkable to all attractions. The only issue we ran into was weak wifi, especially in the back of the apartment, and when the doors were closed, or too many people were connected. Other than that, would absolutely stay again and would recommend.

Great stay in Edinburgh!

My husband and I arranged a family trip to Scotland with our two adult daughters. This listing looked perfect for us. We like to see many areas of a city and love to walk. It was perfect location to see the Royal Mile as well as to experience other areas. We especially liked Broughton Street with bakeries and restaurants. The listing was very clean, great amenities, and plenty of room for all of us. Would highly recommend to anyone!

We had a wonderful time in Edinburgh, Scotland and John's place was Perfect. It is a beautiful flat within a 15 min walk from the train station and about 25 min walk to the Royal Mile. The building has a lovely courtyard and there is a grocery store just a block or two away. This was the perfect landing place for our many adventures! Enjoy!!

Edinburgh Penthouse

I found the area by the penthouse to be filled with lovely fragrant flowers that filled the air. I heard the songs of the laughing gulls in the early mornings and wanted to take them home. The apartment was bright and very spacious for six of us. The clothes dryer could have been more effective. We loved staying there and would stay again. Melonie M

Wonderful stay in Edinburgh!

This is a wonderful place to stay in Edinburgh with lots of local cafes and unique stores. It’s a very walkable location and we could reach all the main attractions within a 15 to 20 min walk. There are also convenient bus and transit connections for local and day trips outside of the main city. We had wonderful walks to the botanic garden and Deans village and all the amazing museums along with the Royal Mile! The place is lovely with a beautiful view and large sitting room for the entire family to enjoy. Our host John was incredibly responsive and the place was well stocked with all the essentials. Thank you John for making this such an enjoyable stay and we hope to visit again in the near future!

Family Friendly Flat; Walk To New and Old Town

Our family of 4 (12 yr old / 18 yr old) thought this was an ideal spot for 4 days in Edinburgh. You can walk to everything, but far enough off the noise of the Royal Mile so it also a quiet spot after a long day. The big windows and balcony are lovely. As to the immediate neighborhood, we enjoyed the restaurants on Leith Walk (one block walk), the local coffee shop around the corner and the Harry Potter- like alley walk to the city streets. Owners are a nice family and responsive. Key pick up is a little tricky, and if you go when it is uniquely hot there is no a/c (but large patio doors that open).
