Self-catering apartments in Edinburgh city centre
Edinburgh is a city best seen on foot, and all three of our flats are in walking distance of the Old Town. Choose the City Centre if this is your first visit, the Georgian New Town if you're here to eat well, or the Meadows if you'd rather feel like a local.
Each one is a whole apartment, with your own kitchen, a proper living room and somewhere to work if you need it. That makes them easier for families and groups than a pair of hotel rooms.
Edinburgh
City Centre
The postcard view, on foot.
Most first visits to Edinburgh happen within a short walk of here. The Royal Mile runs down the spine of the Old Town from Edinburgh Castle, and Princes Street Gardens fill the valley below it, the green seam between the medieval Old Town and the Georgian New Town.
Staying central means you can head out early before the crowds, come back for an afternoon rest and go out again in the evening, all without a taxi. In August the Festival and Fringe fill these streets; at Hogmanay the city centre hosts its famous New Year celebrations.

Edinburgh
New Town
Georgian grandeur, with dinner on the doorstep.
Frederick Street runs through the middle of the New Town: the grid of broad streets, squares and private gardens laid out from the late 18th century. With the Old Town, it makes up the city's UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This is the part of Edinburgh people come back to for eating out. George Street and its side streets are full of restaurants, cocktail bars and cafés, Princes Street and its gardens are at the foot of the hill, and the Old Town is a short walk across the valley.

The Meadows & Grassmarket
Where Edinburgh actually lives.
The Meadows is a wide, tree-lined park just south of the Old Town, criss-crossed by paths and busy with runners, picnics and games of football on summer evenings. Around it are tall Victorian tenements, independent cafés and the University of Edinburgh's central campus.
Downhill, the Grassmarket is an old market square in the shadow of the Castle rock, lined with pubs and places to eat. It feels like a neighbourhood rather than a tourist route, but the city centre and the Royal Mile are still a short walk away.

When to come
August: the festivals
The Edinburgh International Festival and the Festival Fringe take over the city every August. It's the busiest month of the year, so book as early as you can.
Winter and Hogmanay
December brings the Christmas markets and dark, atmospheric evenings, ending with Hogmanay, Edinburgh's New Year celebrations. A flat with a kitchen makes a cosy base.
Spring and autumn
Quieter streets, softer light and easier restaurant bookings. A good time for walking up Calton Hill or Arthur's Seat.
Getting around
The centre is compact but hilly, with plenty of stairs and cobbles, so pack comfortable shoes. Waverley station is right in the middle of town, trams run out to the airport, and trains to Glasgow take around an hour.
