Copper & Rose

Princes Street Gardens is a five-minute stroll away, George Street's bars and boutiques are walkable in five, and Edinburgh Castle is within easy reach – this apartment puts the city's best squarely on your doorstep. Whether you're in Edinburgh for Old Town's medieval closes or Calton Hill's panoramic views, you'll be well-placed to explore. Back at the apartment, the setup is comfortable for two couples or a small group – with a full kitchen, a duo of bedrooms, and a contemporary living area offering space to decompress after a day on your feet.

Home truths:
* To reach the apartment you'll climb twenty-six stairs to the entrance, plus two more internal steps in the corridor. This setup isn't well suited to guests with reduced mobility or anyone who finds stairs difficult.
* Rose Street is pedestrianised and there's no parking at the apartment. That said, both New Town and Old Town are very walkable and well connected by bus, so a car isn't needed.
* Towels, bedding, and toiletries are provided at the start of your stay but won't be replenished during it, so plan accordingly if you're staying for several nights.
* The small double bedroom is quite snug with limited storage space. However, it has everything you need for a comfortable night's sleep.
* Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
