New Town Apartment | Luxury central Edinburgh with stunning views of castle!

2 Bedroom Apartment in New Town, Edinburgh

Location, location, location!
The Robert Louis Stevenson Suite is a luxury apartment with unprecedented views of Edinburgh Castle. Located just 2 minutes from the iconic Princes St on the corner of George St (lots of shopping, bars and restaurants) and North Castle St, the apartment is in the heart of the New Town, making it an ideal base for visiting all the main tourist sites of Edinburgh.
The apartment block was one of the first flats to be built in the New Town by James Craig in 1790 and sits directly adjacent to the Edinburgh town house of Sir Walter Scott! For the sake of clarity, the apartment is located on the first floor of the building and from street level there are approx 20 steps (no elevator as one of the first buildings to be erected in "The new Town" and is a listed building). The steps are more gradual and winding than steep and vertical.
The flat opens into a square reception hall providing access to all rooms. To the front of the flat and with a southerly aspect from its twin windows is a magnificent drawing room featuring a gas fire with iron grate and pretty timber mantle, dado paneling and delicate plaster work. A glazed door provides secondary access from the drawing room into a striking breakfasting kitchen fitted with an attractive range of painted timber units topped with thick granite surfaces and incorporating a full range of integrated appliances, including a recessed range cooker set, oven/grill, and microwave as well as a washing machine and full height fridge/freezer.
The bedrooms comprise a generously proportioned master bedroom with a king size bed and dual aspect views towards Edinburgh Castle. This bedroom features secondary double glazing and also benefits from a luxurious en-suite shower room.
The second bedroom is set up with twin beds (can be pushed together to form a double on request) and is served by an equally well fitted family bathroom off the hall.
Larger parties can enquire about our apartment in the same building - The Walter Scott Suite ( same building below this one on the first floor), has the same high spec and stunning views of Edinburgh Castle. Combined, both properties can accommodate up to 8 / 10 people comfortably. It has the same stunning views of Edinburgh Castle and can be made available by special request.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! Great location! Love that it was right above a pub but far enough away that we didn’t have any noise issues. Was fun to go walk down the stairs and get a cocktail each evening.

Summary: My family and I stayed here for the Christmas and New Year holidays. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The home was very clean and there was plenty of room for the four of us. The apartment matched the pictures that were posted. We were able to walk just about everywhere we wanted to go though it was very easy getting an Uber/taxi if needed. This apartment is in New Town and the walk to the Royal Mile/Old Town wasn't bad. There are lots of restaurants and bars near by and I would recommend making reservations if you are visiting during a busy season. There is actually a bar literally next door to the apartment called Tonic which provides very tasty cocktails. There is also a Co-op/grocery store on Frederick street that was within walking distance that had everything we needed. Morris was very easy to communicate with when we needed to reach out. Overall we were pleased with our stay and I would recommend this apartment to any fellow traveler.

Summary: This unit was in a great location in New Town -- lots of restaurants and bars, great shopping, walking distance to Old Town. The beds in the unit were great, kitchen was sufficient, bathrooms worked well. The owner was great on responding and very nice. But -- Be aware of the staircases to get to the unit - up 6 steps to get to the front door from the street and then another 12 or so, in a circular staircase to get to the unit -- those stairs are short and narrow. Very do-able if you are able bodied, but be prepared when you get there! I believe the owner describes this in the listing, but I didn't really understand the issues until we got there. I would love to give it 5 stars, but for the price, the unit really needs a refresh overall - carpets were thin, stained and torn in one place, the couches were saggy and stained, one of the windows didn't close (so 48 degrees was pretty chilly in the living room!), the kitchen sink dripped and the water heater had some problems too. For the price, it wasn't a great value. But I would stay there again because of the location. And the owner was a delight.

Summary: An excellent property situated right in the heart of Edinburgh and close to all forms of public transport. Very well appointed, spacious and comfortable appartment. Should mention two maintenance requirements. There is a small leak coming from the boiler which drips onto the the sink work surface. Also two of the curtains in the master bedroom are coming adrift from the rail and need re-attaching. An excellent stay and would certainly use again. Should mention two

Summary: This property was perfect. The washer and dryer was small and did take a long time but it was much appreciated after traveling for a week. The location was perfect you could see Edinburgh castle right outside the window. We would definitely stay here again. At night you could hear passerbyers talking but it wasn’t too bad, my husband and I didn’t have any issues sleeping,
