Graceful Gem

Situated a short walk from Edinburgh Castle, St Giles’ Cathedral and the Scottish National Gallery, this apartment is in a superb spot for sightseeing. It’s also near the boutiques of George Street – handy for souvenir shopping. While the studio-style layout could feel a tad cosy, this comfortable home has everything you need for a city break or work trip. The kitchen is a little short on space and probably best for breakfast or light bites, but in a city known for its food scene, dining out is always a treat.

Home truths:
*Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb fifty stairs to reach the entrance of the home on the second floor.
*This home has a studio layout, with no door between the bedroom and the living area, so privacy may be limited.
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
*Parking in Edinburgh can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. If you're travelling by train, Edinburgh Waverley station is a twelve-minute walk away.
