Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked away in a quiet spot just off Edinburgh's Royal Mile, this apartment is simple and homely. We think it's a great choice for families due to the extra-flexible sleeping arrangements – the super king and king beds can be set up as four singles on request, and your host can provide a free cot and high chair for little ones. You'll have space to park in the garage, but you won't need a car here thanks to the fantastically central location. The vast Holyrood Park, along with Edinburgh's bustling Old Town and majestic castle, are an easy walk from your front door.

About Hillside
Edinburgh is a city built around seven hills, but Hillside is not as steep as the name suggests.
