Halfway between Edinburgh and Leith, this Georgian apartment is in a prime location to discover the city's best bits. The old town is just a twenty-minute walk from your doorstep. Although it's in a residential area, there's lots to do nearby, including the Playhouse Theatre and a handful of bars and shops. With plenty of natural light, colourful, comfy furnishings and a decent-sized kitchen, the home has everything you need for a short city break.
