About this property

Grassmarket apartment with views to Edinburgh Castle - two bedrooms

Situated in the heart of the Old Town the Grassmarket area changes with the differing hours of the days. From cosmopolitan cafe dining to a more lively night life area you will never be too far away from the action and places of interest to visit. All major tourist attractions within easy walking distance.
The apartment is on the third floor (top) and is cosy and warm. We do not accept stag/hen nights or large groups of party guests.

Good views from the rear bedroom up to Edinburgh Castle. Good views to the front over the activity space normally used for Street shoes to the front.
Lovely tastefully done up flat inside.

We had a fantastic stay in Edinburgh! The apartment was spotlessly clean, and right in the heart of the city. We could walk to all the major sights, and the view of the old town was just beautiful. The host was friendly, gave us some great local tips, and everything went smoothly. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave—Edinburgh was a dream, and this place made it even better!

What a fantastic find, excellent location immaculately clean beautiful bed linen and towels. Couldn’t fault it. Only thing I would like to try three times to ring the owners three times no answer. Can’t say if I needed them in a hurry that I could get hold of them.But people have their own lives to live I get that.

Fantastic property and unbeatable location. We enjoyed being close to shops and dining without the chaos of staying on the Royal Mile. Would absolutely stay here again. The flat is spotlessly clean and is furnished with everything you could possibly need.

A wonderful place in a great location! My son and I had a great stay. Spacious and lovely.Walking distance to everything. Only caveat—stairs are narrow and winding to the top floor, so be warned if you have mobility issues or a lot of heavy luggage. Also looks down on the big party area, so very boisterous folks on weekend nights and you can hear noise of happy revelers. Neither of these things bothered us at all, just FYI if you are sensitive to such things.

Grassmarket Flat

Interesting and comfortable stay at this location. Great for walking to interesting tourist sites and all the special hidden treasures of the area. Flat was beautiful and a lovely place to relax at the end of the day. Lots of eating options close by.

Great location

Two days in Edenburgh and this was the best location. Close to the castle and numerous shops, restaurants, and bars! Accommodations were perfect for family of four. Would recommend and would stay again! Listing is accurate in that the stairs can be tricky with large luggage as it is three flights up a winding stairway. We managed with our carryons and backpacks.

Graduation weekend

Fabulous two night stay to celebrate our daughter’s university graduation. Derek, our host, was incredibly helpful and we loved this two bed apartment with views over historic Grassmarket. We ate out but the kitchen was well stocked and very spacious. The location is bustling and can be noisy at night but worth it for being in such an iconic part of Old Town.

The location, size and comfort of the apartment were excellent. As noted by other visitors, it is up stone stairs two levels from the street, so might not be suitable for some travelers. We enjoyed the busyness of the lively Grassmarket area.

Such a great location!

I was happy to pay a little more and stay so close to the action in Grassmarket. We had to use UBer /taxi very little because we could just easily walk to everything. And, it was so fun to look out the windows and think about all the history in that spot. I highly recommend!
