Unbeatable Location for Your Edinburgh Adventure.
The apartment is perfectly located, offering the best of both worlds—historic charm and modern convenience. Just steps from your doorstep, you’ll find yourself on the Royal Mile, Edinburgh’s most iconic street. This bustling thoroughfare is lined with a variety of shops, restaurants, bars, and historic sites, making it the ideal place to explore on foot. The apartment offers views both up and down the Royal Mile, allowing you to take in the stunning architecture and energy of Edinburgh.
From the apartment, you are only a short stroll from some of Edinburgh’s most famous landmarks, including Edinburgh Castle, which sits at the top of the Royal Mile. The castle is one of Scotland’s most popular tourist attractions, offering rich history, stunning views, and fascinating exhibits. Continuing along the Royal Mile, you’ll reach the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the official residence of the Queen in Scotland. Other nearby attractions include St Giles’ Cathedral, The National Museum of Scotland, and The Scottish Parliament—all within easy walking distance.
Modern Comfort in a Historic Setting.
Our apartment is designed to offer you a comfortable and spacious retreat in the heart of Edinburgh. The apartment features three lovely bedrooms—one double room and two twin rooms. Both of the twin rooms can easily be converted into king-size beds for added comfort (please request this upon booking). One of the twin rooms also includes its own ensuite shower room, providing extra convenience for your stay.
The apartment’s open-plan living area includes a cosy lounge with ample seating, perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. Whether you’re unwinding with a movie or planning your next adventure, the lounge provides a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The fully equipped kitchen allows you to prepare meals at home, though you’ll find a wide range of fantastic restaurants just outside your door if you prefer to dine out.
Convenience and Comfort.
The apartment offers all the modern amenities you need for a relaxing stay, including high-speed Wi-Fi, a smart TV, and central heating to ensure a cozy environment throughout your visit. With the ability to comfortably accommodate up to six guests, our apartment is perfect for families, friends, or small groups looking to explore Edinburgh in style.
New Attractions and Local Highlights.
One of the most exciting additions to the area is the Edinburgh Gin Distillery, which has recently opened just 100 yards from the apartment! A fantastic experience for visitors, the distillery offers guided tours and tastings where you can learn about the distillation process and sample some of the finest gins in Scotland. It’s a must-visit for any gin lover, and it’s so close to the apartment, making it a perfect way to spend an afternoon.
In addition to the distillery, the Royal Mile is full of things to see and do. Take a stroll down to The Real Mary King’s Close, a hidden historic street beneath the Royal Mile that offers a fascinating glimpse into Edinburgh’s past. Or, if you’re a fan of Scottish whisky, visit The Scotch Whisky Experience, where you can learn about and taste Scotland’s national drink.
For those who enjoy shopping, Victoria Street—just a short walk from the apartment—offers a unique selection of boutique stores, quirky shops, and cafes. Grassmarket, located just below the Royal Mile, is another vibrant area filled with independent shops and lively pubs, perfect for an evening out.
Access to Edinburgh’s Best.
Getting around Edinburgh is easy from our apartment. Waverley Train Station, the city’s main train hub, is just a 5-minute walk away, making it easy to travel to other parts of Scotland or the UK. Additionally, the Edinburgh Bus Station is nearby, with frequent services to various parts of the city and beyond. If you’re driving, the apartment is centrally located, with parking available nearby, though we recommend using public transport as much as possible to fully experience Edinburgh.

Excellent location on the Royal Mile. Spacious and clean. Advertised as luxury, which it is not. Furniture is old and worn and apartment needs a refresh such as paint.
We had a wonderful time! It was so nice to be right on the Royal Mile. Plenty of good food options, great shopping and very close to all the things we wanted to visit. We had everyone we needed and great communication for getting in! Thank you!
Excellent location with lots of little extras. We would stay again.

Thank you for your review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the excellent location of our Cranston Street property on the Royal Mile and that the little extras made your stay special. We always aim to provide a comfortable and memorable experience.
We look forward to welcoming you again!
Location is excellent. There are 2 flights of stairs to the apartment, which didn’t bother me. The bedding was spotless clean however it felt like it needed a good dusting and cleaning.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We’re really glad you enjoyed the location and found the bedding spotless. We’re sorry, though, that the apartment didn’t feel as fresh as it should have. It was just after the Festival Fringe when you stayed — always an incredibly busy time — but we know that’s no excuse, and we should have done better. Your comments are very helpful and we’ll make sure future guests have the best possible experience. Hopefully we can welcome you back sometime to show you that this wasn’t the norm.
Lovely place, great location. Loads of nice pubs restaurants etc right on your doorstep.
The only little thing was the noise at night but thats to be expected being so close to everything and keeping the streets clean.
Loved our short stay. The host was very helpful and kept in touch. The location was so central, just minutes away from train station. One negative was the noise at night but that's to be expected being so central.
This property was perfect for walking around Edinburgh. Yes, it is in the heart of the city so it has traffic and construction noise and yes, it is in a old building so the stairs with suitcases can be a challenge if you have mobility issues, BUT it is a very nice space that is comfortable and it easily accommodated our family of 5 adults.
The flat was right above a small grocery store, which was perfect. We were located perfectly and the living room had a great view and was the perfect place to entertain.
