Edinburgh is steeped in history and as well as providing a city break location, it is also ideally situated for excursions to the beaches and golf courses of East Lothian and Fife. The city is famous for its Georgian architecture, its open spaces and also its festivals, notably the world's largest arts festival in August and Hogmanay at New Year. The cosmopolitan feel of the city owes its thanks to its foreign visitors, university students and of course the local residents. A walking tour of Edinburgh's architectural highlights starts on your doorstep and should go on to include the Royal Mile and the Scottish Parliament which are both within a very short distance. Calton Hill, situated just behind Carlton Terrace is a must for any visit to Edinburgh as it offers fine views of the city and across to Fife and East Lothian. Holyrood Park with Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags are also within easy walking distance and here it is easy to forget you are in a city at all.

Highly recommended apartment

Phil-DK Copenhagen
Review Submitted: June 8, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
First, Mark - the owner - is a top bloke. Extremely helpful and always seems to have a minute to talk when you call up.
Second, the apartment is fantastic. All smartly furnished, very clean and spacious. And we were less than 10 minutes away from Princes street by foot. An extremely generous price for the high standard that is provided.
The description of the apartment is very accurate, and even though the third person takes the sofa bed in the front room, it never once felt cramped.

And there's a great French bakery 2 minutes walk away...but Mark'll tell you all about that when you arrive.

Highly recommended!

An italian family at Carlton Terrace, Edinburgh

Mile Cernusco sul Naviglio, Milan, Italy
Review Submitted: September 1, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We came to Edinburgh with our teen-age daughter to visit the town enjoying the atmosphere of the festival. The apartment in Carlton terrace has been great part of a successfull holyday. First of all our host: before our departure from Italy he sent us all information we needed, how to reach the house, instructions about any device/machine in the flat etc. His welcome was warm and friendly, making us feel immediately at our ease.The apartment was just perfect: clean, furnished with charme , two TV and one Ipod box (my daughter was delighted!), DVD, books.., a brand new kitchen. The location was also ideal. We never took the car or the bus: from our quiet road to the busy center of the city it was just 10 minutes walking. We will recommend this experience to all our friends, no doubt!! Milena

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE

Familia de Susana Edinburgh
Review Submitted: July 22, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
I rented the flat for my parents a week ago and it was a complete success. The location can;t be better, it is so close to the center in a beautiful and quiet area. The building is so beautiful and the flat lovely. It is completely reformed, clean and stylish decorated full of lovely details. We spent more time in the flat than what we expected! The kitchen had all the utensils you might need and it also had microwave, oven, washing machine, dishwasher, kettle, coffee machine..I can't remember all it had. The bathroom was so clean and moderly decorated. The bedroom and living room stunning. They had huge windows which gave a lot of light to the flat with beautiful views to a garden and the area. The living room was so confortable and full of lovely details chosen very carefully. Leather sofa, big tv, books, movies, music..The bedroom was wonderful with plenty place to keep it tidy. It also had radio, tv and a music system connected to the living room.
It has been a wonderful experienced for my parents and Mark cared they had everything they needed.
We definetely rent the flat again and recommend it to our friends.
Thank you for everything Mark, we will see you again very soon.
