Condo in Old Town
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 107 reviewsLovely 2 bed flat located next to Edinburgh Castle

Perfect location in the city of Edinburgh and a beautiful, spacious flat. All of the sights, we‘ve planned to do were in walking distance to the flat. Would recommend it and book it anytime again.

KathyRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Absolutely Perfect Stay in the Heart of Edinburgh! This flat couldn’t be in a better location—just steps from the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. The space itself is fantastic: spacious, beautifully maintained, and truly feels like a home away from home. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches—milk, tea, and cereal were left for us, and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable, and having two bathrooms made our stay even more convenient. There was plenty of room to relax after a day of sightseeing. This was honestly one of the best Airbnb stays we’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

KatherineRating, 5 stars1 day ago
This special place surpassed all our expectations. The attention to detail and care in every aspect, from the little jars of shortbread to the amazing roof beams, is simply incredible. Everywhere you look, there's something interesting, clever, or beautiful. The location is perfect for a city break; it's an easy walk from the train station, with many attractions on your doorstep. You can even see Holyrood Park and its dramatic crags from the apartment. Once inside, you're completely cocooned from the world. We found ourselves structuring our days to maximize our time there. It truly elevated our stay, making it an unforgettable experience.

LynnRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Perfect place for a stay in Edinburgh. Walkable location from the train station and to all the major attractions. Lovely apartment. Very quiet despite being so close to the city sites. Veronique lives nearby and was very friendly, kind and helpful. The apartment was well-supplied with fresh items, and not with leftovers from previous renters. So nice upon arrival to see fresh milk, butter, eggs, bread, juice, yogurt, and a full supply of condiments. Just a great place to stay. Highly recommended. Two nearby restaurants we'd recommend are an Italian restaurant called Amerone, and a French one called Chez Jules. Both excellent and reasonably priced. Busy, so booking ahead is recommended. We used a private driving service, LR Executive, for a day trip out to the highlands. Very expensive, but it was a great way to see the area and do some hiking. They allowed us to plan our own journey and stops. Ask for Andy--a great guide and driver.

NatashaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
This was the perfect location for visiting Edinburgh!!!!! We were able to explore and drop back to the apartment to grab whatever we needed when we wanted. No need to lug things with you for the day. In 5min we were back “home” to drop things off, pick things up and off to explore again. For being just over a 5min walk from all the major sights, it was very quiet and comfortable. I’d highly recommend Lynn’s place and wouldn’t stay anywhere else when we come back.

RachelRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The perfect place to stay when visiting Edinburgh! Easy to walk to shops and restaurants and the castle! It should be noted that you do have to climb to flights of spiral stairs to get to the apartment. So I would not recommend booking this Airbnb if you have troubles getting up steps. Other than that I highly recommend!

MorganRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a great time! Location is unbeatable and the flat is very spacious for downtown Edinburgh! I was a little nervous about the noise level being on the royal mile but there were no issues, it was relatively quiet. Having the appliances were great, however we had a little trouble with the washer.

MarkRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Great host, clean, safe, close to everything, and just a 5-minute walk to the train station. This place checks all the boxes! However, don't underestimate the stairs. I work out every day and always take the stairs at the office, but these stairs are a killer. They are incredibly steep and spiral, unlike a hotel or office building. I wouldn't recommend if you're traveling with lots of luggage. If you travel light and are in great shape, it's fantastic!
