Holiday Rental Description

At the foot of the Royal Mile, just one minute from the national seat of power of the Scottish Parliament, this flat is every bit as majestic as its surroundings. Enjoy luxury right from the offset, as your host can arrange for a private transfer from the airport right to your door. Inside, while the decor is much more modern than the historic locale, the furnishings are supremely comfortable and stylish. Your open-plan living space has rich, brown wooden flooring and duck-egg blue kitchen cabinets – a beautiful colour scheme which is perfectly illuminated by bright windows and light fixtures. We love the idea of dining below the trendy, low-hanging lampshade next to the charcoal feature wall. And this isn’t your only dining option – how about an alfresco meal on your own balcony? Then round off the evening with a stroll around the residents' garden. In the morning, savour a hearty bowl of porridge to prepare for a big day ahead. As you’re just a six-minute walk from the edge of Holyrood Park, you’ve got an enormous green space to explore. You can even scale its extinct volcano, Arthur’s Seat, for sweeping views of Edinburgh and beyond.

Home truths:
*For your check-in, you will need to collect your keys from your hosts office. The address is in your house rules
*You'll have access to a garden, but it is shared between all residents in the building
*There's a washing machine in the home, but not a tumble dryer
*If you're bringing the little ones along, your host can provide childcare equipment – you can check in advance what's available
*For an additional fee, your host can arrange extras such as airport transfer and housekeeping
*This home is on the second floor of the building, but there's no lift available
*You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started
*Your host can provide a travel cot and additional bed linen for the sofa bed upon request
