An elegant apartment with its own front door in the heart of fashionable Stockbridge area of Edinburgh. Quiet and peaceful but only a 10 minute walk to the bustling city centre. Sleeps 4 comfortably in 2 bedrooms, one a glamorous four poster king size bed with en-suite bathroom and the second bedroom either as 2 single or a king size bed with an en suite shower room. The sitting room, which overlooks a leafy patio garden, has a dining table, TV and antique fireplace. There is a separate loo which is convenient for guests. The kitchen is well equipped with dishwasher and washer/dryer. A minute away is the fabulous private Dean Gardens , a 7 acre park and woodlands, so pretty all year round. A key is provided on request. The Water of Leith walkway is across from the flat with a riverside walk all the way down to the Port of Leith or up to the Galleries of Modern Art. Check in time is 3pm and check out is 10am but if I can be flexible with this I will certainly try especially with luggage drop off and collection. Please just ask. There is pay parking on the street and free from 5.30pm-8.30am weekdays and on weekends or there is free parking about 10/15mins walk away on East Fettes Avenue.

Such a lovely and well appointed flat! And the location was fantastic, in a beautiful neighborhood that was not touristy yet had loads of cafes, restaurants, and shops. (Highly recommend the Scran & Scallie restaurant but make sure to book ahead.). We walked everywhere, and never needed public transportation. Our host, Emma, was so responsive to any questions we had and the attention to detail in the flat to make guests comfortable was amazing. Really the nicest vacation rental ever. Book it, you won’t be sorry!
We had an amazing stay over Christmas. Emma was so kind, and so we'll organized. We had everything we needed and more. The location was perfect for us, and we hope to stay again.
This is an excellent property. The apartment has been beautifully renovated and furnished. Both bedrooms and the lounge room are spacious and comfortable. Communication from the owner was clear and timely, and there were some lovely touches with high quality consumables provided.The location is excellent and within walking distance of Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. As with many places in Edinburgh, parking is not easy but the owner provided clear information on the best options for parking.
The apartment was cozy, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and furnished with anything one could need. We spent our Christmas holidays there, and it felt just like home. The host was very kind and helpful.
This is our second time at this property for a girls' weekend in Edinburgh. Super place to stay. Spacious, comfortable, clean, cosy and in a beautiful, peaceful location, just perfect. Easy walking distance to the city centre or the local taxis were really good. Emma is a great host, very accommodating and helpful. We felt right at home.
The house was the perfect location. Quiet but close to restaurants and shops. The house met all our needs. It was a wonderful visit to Edinburgh. Thank you Emma
We loved this place! The communication was excellent. The position was perfect too. We managed to sleep really well, which was great considering how close we were to all of the attractions.
We hope to return in the future.
Thanks for a lovely stay.
A wonderful start to our family vacation. High quality linens, tea/coffee with milk and sugar provided, spacious flat with more than enough room for me, my spouse, and our teenager. Full of light and never felt like a lower level space. Walk along the river was a perfect jet lag cure. Stockbridge had all we needed and more. We would absolutely recommend!
The apartment was beautiful, clean and bright. Opened to a pretty courtyard. Walk to many places and short Uber if you get tired. Will stay here when we come back!
We were two couples, and 3 sets of keys were included, so one could always be left in the lockbox for convenience. Access to the private garden was a wonderful bonus. Nice, clean place in a good location about a mile from the top of the Royal Mile. Owner communicated clearly and in a friendly way online when I asked questions. Would stay there again.
We enjoyed the few days we stayed in Emma's flat in Stockbridge. Clean, quiet, beautiful neighborhood with access to the gorgeous Dean Gardens. About a mile walk to the Royal Mile but a close walk to the bus stop. Communication with Emma was excellent! We appreciated the bottled water and biscuits left for us in well-stocked kitchen. Beds were very comfortable. Thank you for a lovely stay!
We loved this beautiful home in the Stockbridge area. It was tastefully decorated and had all of the amenities needed. Listing was accurate. It was easy to get to all of the Edinburgh attractions (castle, Royal Mile, etc.) and the area of Stockbridge was charming with good restaurants, cafes and a Sunday street market. Our host was easy to communicate with and very accommodating, allowing us to leave our luggage a bit longer while we went to church on Easter Sunday. Great stay and we would be back again!
First, Emma is a fantastic, very professional host. Timely response, helpful information, and personally kind. Thank You!
Second, I really don’t know what superlatives to add to the previous reviews, so refer to the title!
The neighborhood is one where you want to respect the local community. Sure we stuck out as ‘tourists’, but hopefully left a light footprint.
We will definitely be back - Love Edinburgh!
Everything about this place was perfect. The location, the elegant interior, the comfort, and the care of the host. I had an incredible stay with this as our home base for 5 wonderful days. It was very wet out most days, but such a cozy place to relax. The nearby area is adorable and has everything you need. The water of Leith is across the street and is very picturesque. Taxis were easily called and is about a £8 ride to the Royal Mile. A great quiet street. The hostess has thought of everything and really went all out to prepare the place for us. I can't thank her enough for the thoughtfulness she showed. Everything was planned for and thought of. If you are lucky enough to book this location you will not be disappointed. Best hostess and best flat ever!
The place is so spacious. The back garden provided a calm place for coffee in the morning.The location couldn’t have been better! Short walk to the main street with shops and so many places to eat.The best part, the big comfy bed and the most amazing pillows. Thank you Emma for stocking the kitchen and making our stay the best ever!
Great house with everything that you would require for your stay. Excellent communication from the host. A short walk to Dean Village and Edinburgh, main attractions within 10 minutes highly recommended.
