Description Old Town Heart: Edinburgh

Offering a simple, fuss-free interior with a compact but well-equipped kitchen for when you fancy a home-cooked meal, this fourth-floor apartment in Edinburgh really caught our eye because of its fantastic location. Step out of the building straight onto the Royal Mile in the capital’s historic Old Town, a short stroll from Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace. If your trip is centred around some Scottish sightseeing, this home drops you in the heart of the action – fans of the Edinburgh Fringe, it’s perfectly placed for you, too.
