    It was centrally located so it was easy to come and go throughout the day, and enjoy the pleasures of the city. It was surprisingly quiet to say where it was.

Property information

Grassmarket Apartment is a lovely one-bedroom apartment located in one of the most vibrant and picturesque areas of Edinburgh – the Grassmarket! The apartment is just 5 minutes walk away from the Edinburgh Castle 🏰 and seems a great choice for travellers interested in history, art and shopping. It is the ideal home away from home for guests who are looking to stay close to the best restaurants and the most traditional Scottish pubs, too! The flat can accommodate up to 4 guests maximum. It has one fully upgraded bathroom (March 2024) and a well-equipped kitchen. It benefits from beautiful Castle views 🏰 and on-site garage parking suitable for small/medium-sized vehicles as the entrance to the garage is quite narrow and the parking spaces are quite tight as well.

Neighbourhood information

The apartment is situated in the very heart of Edinburgh's historic Old Town. Edinburgh's main visitor attractions are on your doorstep!
