Advocates Apartment locates on the centre of Royal Mile, situated in a historic Grade A listed building, directly opposite St Giles Cathedral. The building in which our apartment is situated has an interesting past, with parts of the building dating back to the 15 century. A full restoration of the building was carried out in recent years. Advocates Close is one of Edinburgh's most atmospheric and photographed close. The apartment is on ground floor over 2 levels provides over 80 square metres space. Two spacious double bedrooms, one has its own en-suite shower room, overlooking the Scott Moment on Princes Street. Sitting room, kitchen and bathroom are on the lower level. kitchen is fully equipped with electric hob and oven, fridge , kettle, microwave, toaster, washing machine and cooking essentials. Wifi, iron, iron board, and full bedding and towels are provided. It will offer you an ideal holiday accommodation for a short break in the very heart of Edinburgh.
I was born in China and have lived in Scotland for 18 years. I came here young and now have my own family with 2 children. I have a great passion for life, love travelling, love reading and enjoy cooking. My dream is to travelling around the world with my husband when our children are older and independant. Edinburgh is a beautiful city. It has so much to offer. For whatever reason you come, you will love it and I will try my best to ensure you will have a good stay.
Most of the city’s major tourist attractions – including the Royal Mile, St Giles’ Cathedral, the Castle, and the Palace of Holyroodhouse – are within a 10-minute walk from the apartment. It surrounded by all kinds of restaurant, bars and shops. The famous shopping area, Princes street, George Street, are both minutes away.
