Welcoming, attractive, city centre apt with fantastic views

This is a much-loved, very attractive city centre flat which we ourselves lived in for ten years. At the top of a typical Edinburgh tenement, it is four flights up, but its tremendous views of Arthur’s Seat, and the Pentland Hills, which are snow-capped in winter, make it well worth the climb. The flat, which is light and airy, is striking for its welcoming feel, and many of our guests return year after year. Ideally situated for the Royal Mile, Princes Street, shops, cafes and restaurants, it is a stone’s throw from the university in George Square. We have been letting this property since 1998 and take great pride in making it a warm home from home for our guests. It is, therefore, very well equipped, and although it is supremely good value, we have not comprised on the things that matter, like high quality linen and towels, and a comfortable bed. Free wifi internet access Please note, this is a non-smoking apartment.
