Exterior

The apartment is just 5 minutes walk from Princes Street, The Usher Hall, iconic concert hall and Fringe venue. The neighbourhood is one of the most sought after, being within minutes from The Royal Mile. With great eateries and local markets this area is bursting with great food, dive bars and local shops.


Local Area

Castle Terrace is ideally located a walking distance away from the shopping of Princes Street, the restaurants of George Street, the ambience of Grassmarket and buzz of the Royal Mile. Each of the main areas of Edinburgh ensure that you will never find yourself without entertainment, food or a good drink in many of the venues just minutes away from the front door.

For the fine diners, the Michelin starred restaurant, aptly named Castle Terrace, is just a few doors away. And for those seeking for more old style atmosphere, any of the pubs on the Royal Mile or Grassmarket offer fantastic, home made classics from fish and chips to steak and ale pie. We highly recommend the World's End on Royal Mile and the Fiddler's Arms on Grassmarket.

Just around the corner starts the stretch of Lothian Road, offering a number of cafes, breakfast places and pubs. Along the Lothian is also the Filmhouse - an alternative cinema. Just a little ways up from Lothian, on Home Street, is a the Cameo picture house, one of the oldest cinemas in Scotland still in use. Not too far away, on Leven Street, is the King's Theatre offering great theatre all year round.

And for a bit fresh air, the Meadows park is not too far away either, for that perfect afternoon stroll or summer day barbeque. During the Festival season, the Meadows is packed with artists and venues of all sorts. The Edinburgh Farmers Market is on every Saturday right next to the apartment, see URL for details http://www.edinburghfarmersmarket.co.uk/

Great location
This apartment was beautiful...we loved it. Quite spaceous and well furnished and decorated. The location was wonderful with several pubs/restaurants located quite nearby along with grocery. The stairs leading up were known about ahead of time and easily climbed by the younger ones who helped out the older ones with luggage so not a problem. Easy in and easy out and right in the center of old town. Would highly recommend it to all.

Beautiful place
This three bedroom apartment located right across from the castle was a perfect location for our stay in Edinburgh. It was clean and being on the Second floor only a few stairs up for an easy access. Having the 2 1/2 bathrooms was nice for the four of us staying there. The linens and bedding were all high-quality and the apartment is well appointed and very tastefully done. It was an easy easy check in and easy checkout as well. Would highly recommend.

Serene and upscale oasis in the city
This was such a wonderful property for me and my family. The extra large sitting room was a lovely spot to sit and visit and the kitchen was well appointed. We felt at home and spoiled all at once. And of course it was an excellent location. Winner!

Excellent Flat in a Perfect Location
Needed a place for a week while my wife was as in Edinburgh on business and then a long weekend. Flat was spacious, well equipped and exactly what we needed in terms of a kitchen and common area. Location could not have been better. Central and walkable to everything you needed. Some street noise but part of the charm. Only items missing were umbrellas and electricity converters…we left both behind for the next guests. Overall, you cannot go wrong with this rental. Would stay again without hesitation.

The location of the apartment is perfectly situated within walking distance of all the cool things in Edinburgh, the castle and Royal Mile. I highly recommend.

Perfectly Charming in Edinburgh
This was by far THE BEST VRBO we've stayed at over the years and across the globe. We had a lovely time together. The hosts were pleasant to communicate with when making arrangements. We had no troubles during our stay. The linens were high quality. A Christmas wreath on the entry door welcomed us as well as a charming Christmas tree twinkling in the sitting room. The location was perfect--quiet, yet within walking distance to places we visited. We hope to visit again!

Perfect for family vacation
Beautiful home and well taken care of. The rooms are all spacious and no expense was spared. Great location to walk around city and beautiful views of the castle. It's the little touches that stood out for me like coffee, snacks, champagne and chocolate - even had umbrellas to use. They thought of everything!

Perfect Week in Edinburgh
We just spent the best week in Edinburgh with 2 other couples. This flat was absolutely perfect for the 6 of us. The property manager introduced himself as soon as I made the booking and was very responsive to my questions. They allowed us to check in a bit early which was a very helpful so that we weren't lugging bags around all day. (I realize that if the flat was booked the day before it would have been impossible for them to accommodate us so there was some luck involved - but I was grateful that they were willing to be flexible on check in timing as not all hosts are!) The location was amazing - so close to the Grassmarket and Princes St with a gorgeous view of the castle. The flat was beautifully appointed with everything you could think of needing and very clean. I can't recommend this enough to anyone traveling to Edinburgh with a group.
