    This was our first time in Edinburgh. The location was fantastic. Right next to the castle. The streets outside were busy but it was nice and quiet inside. We were able to walk to almost all of the restaurants and activities we had booked. ...

    The flat was in the perfect location! It was so close to the castle at the top of the Royal Mile, yet it was quiet enough on a Friday night. There was plenty of room for 7 adult family members traveling together which is hard to find in Edinburgh....

    We absolutely LOVED this stunning, comfortable, and really nice apartment. Even with the many stairs as the only way up, it was so nice to come “home” to on our trip. So comfortable and well stocked. Owner/manager was very communicative and...

    Beautiful, well maintained apartment. I loved the old style, it fit perfectly with the location. It was super clean with absolutely everything you could need. We were very lucky to have a snow day so had an excuse to take a break from exploring...

Steeped in history, James Court was built in 1723 and has housed many notable figures in its lifetime. A stone archway leads to a fairy tale traditional spiral staircase which rises to this beautiful charming apartment - just off the Royal Mile in Edinburghs historic Old Town. The property itself is a fifth floor apartment laid out over two levels & joined by an inner spiral staircase. Elegantly furnished, & with stunning views over the city, this will provide a dream stay.
Love to travel and explore new places. Often I will be out and about but enjoy a chat as well :)
Walk everywhere! The flat is located in Lawnmarket in Old Town - right at the top of the Royal Mile, 150 yards from Edinburgh Castle. St Giles' Cathedral is visible from the flat, only a few minutes walk away.
