We love this home for its centrality – stay a fifteen-minute walk from Princes Street Gardens and the Edinburgh Castle. The Scottish National Portrait Gallery is just an eight-minute walk away, and it’s just another six minutes to the Royal Mile. Back at home, you’ll find an unfussy modern flat with plenty of charm. With a bright red fridge and matching radiator, there’s built-in contrast with the home’s soothing teal walls. Relax on the grey sofas and on cooler days soak in the tub in the bathroom with the underfloor heating. The bedroom is cosy and inviting, while an extra friend or kids are welcome on the sofa in the living area. Wake up to a home-cooked breakfast around the charming dining room table and map out the day before you head out into the city.

Local guide
About Hillside
Edinburgh is a city built around seven hills, but Hillside is not as steep as the name suggests. At the east end of the New Town and nestled just below Calton Hill, it’s quieter than the historic centre but still within walking distance from all the main points of interest. It’s fast becoming one of the most sought-after property locations in Edinburgh thanks to its central location and its aesthetically-pleasing...
