Exterior
The apartment is just 5 minutes walk from Princes Street, The Usher Hall, iconic concert hall and Fringe venue. The neighbourhood is one of the most sought after, being within minutes from The Royal Mile. With great eateries and local markets this area is bursting with great food and local shops.
Local Area
Castle Terrace is ideally located a walking distance away from the shopping of Princes Street, the restaurants of George Street, the ambience of Grassmarket and buzz of the Royal Mile. Each of the main areas of Edinburgh ensure that you will never find yourself without entertainment, food or a good drink in many of the venues just minutes away from the front door.
For the fine diners, the Michelin starred restaurant, aptly named Castle Terrace, is just a few doors away. And for those seeking for more old style atmosphere, any of the pubs on the Royal Mile or Grassmarket offer fantastic, home made classics from fish and chips to steak and ale pie. We highly recommend the World's End on Royal Mile and the Fiddler's Arms on Grassmarket.
Just around the corner starts the stretch of Lothian Road, offering a number of cafes, breakfast places and pubs. Along the Lothian is also the Filmhouse - an alternative cinema. Just a little ways up from Lothian, on Home Street, is a the Cameo picture house, one of the oldest cinemas in Scotland still in use. Not too far away, on Leven Street, is the King's Theatre offering great theatre all year round.
And for a bit fresh air, the Meadows park is not too far away either, for that perfect afternoon stroll or summer day barbeque. During the Festival season, the Meadows is packed with artists and venues of all sorts. The Edinburgh Farmers Market is on every Saturday right next to the apartment, see URL for details http://www.edinburghfarmersmarket.co.uk/

Beautiful home; spacious, clean. Centrally located; easy walk to many sights. Host/property manager were very responsive/helpful. Great overall experience. Highly recommend!!
This apartment is in an incredible location right next to Edinburgh castle and an easy walk to the Old Town. Johnny Walker is only a couple of blocks away. The decor is comfortable and beautiful. The gourmet kitchen had everything we needed. Including a high end coffee maker & wine fridge. We loved the kitchen dinette for breakfast. The Bluetooth speakers throughout were a nice touch. The apartment was spotless and updated yet still kept its vintage charm.
Would highly recommend this apartment. It is so lovely and has everything you would need for your stay in Edinburgh. Very spacious and loved the 3 bed/bath layout. It’s quite pretty and located on a perfect street with a close walk to the castle.
Could not have been more pleased with accomodations and responsiveness of property management. Elegant but comfortable furnishings and anything you could want or need provided.
This apartment was perfect for five women on holiday. The bedrooms, living room, and kitchen were all spacious and well-appointed. Located on a beautiful street, we were able to walk most everywhere including the market just 0.2 miles away. Please note that the apartment is located one floor up from the street with no lift available. That was not a problem for us, but be prepared to hoist your luggage one flight up a winding staircase.
Second time visiting the city and this place had it all. Fantastic location, furnishings, well stocked kitchen and bedrooms. Would absolutely stay here again! Highly recommended. A+
This was such a wonderful property for me and my family. The extra large sitting room was a lovely spot to sit and visit and the kitchen was well appointed. We felt at home and spoiled all at once. And of course it was an excellent location. Winner!
This apartment was beautiful...we loved it. Quite spaceous and well furnished and decorated. The location was wonderful with several pubs/restaurants located quite nearby along with grocery. The stairs leading up were known about ahead of time and easily climbed by the younger ones who helped out the older ones with luggage so not a problem. Easy in and easy out and right in the center of old town. Would highly recommend it to all.
Beautiful home and well taken care of. The rooms are all spacious and no expense was spared. Great location to walk around city and beautiful views of the castle. It's the little touches that stood out for me like coffee, snacks, champagne and chocolate - even had umbrellas to use. They thought of everything!
This three bedroom apartment located right across from the castle was a perfect location for our stay in Edinburgh. It was clean and being on the Second floor only a few stairs up for an easy access. Having the 2 1/2 bathrooms was nice for the four of us staying there. The linens and bedding were all high-quality and the apartment is well appointed and very tastefully done. It was an easy easy check in and easy checkout as well. Would highly recommend.
We couldn’t be happier with the apartment. It is very roomy, clean, and up to date. The property managers and owners are lovely folks and very communicative. The check in process was a breeze. The location of the apartment is perfectly situated within walking distance of all the cool things in Edinburgh, the castle and Royal Mile. I highly recommend.
This was by far THE BEST VRBO we've stayed at over the years and across the globe. We had a lovely time together. The hosts were pleasant to communicate with when making arrangements. We had no troubles during our stay. The linens were high quality. A Christmas wreath on the entry door welcomed us as well as a charming Christmas tree twinkling in the sitting room. The location was perfect--quiet, yet within walking distance to places we visited. We hope to visit again!
Needed a place for a week while my wife was as in Edinburgh on business and then a long weekend. Flat was spacious, well equipped and exactly what we needed in terms of a kitchen and common area. Location could not have been better. Central and walkable to everything you needed. Some street noise but part of the charm. Only items missing were umbrellas and electricity converters…we left both behind for the next guests. Overall, you cannot go wrong with this rental. Would stay again without hesitation.
It was exactly what we needed and fit our group perfectly. Also perfectly located for walking to most of Old Town and historic attractions. Convenient to ground transport. The place was neat, clean, well appointed, and entirely as advertised.
This apartment was spectacular! So well appointed and beautiful. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were so comfortable. The rooms were beautiful. This apartment is very well located with easy and convenient parking. Highly recommend!
Beautifully clean and well-appointed apartment with a view of the Edinburgh Castle. This apartment is in the perfect location within walking distance to restaurants and tourist sites. The beds were warm and comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and we even received a welcome bottle of champagne and chocolate. We would recommend it to everyone! Thank you for a wonderful week in Edinburgh!
The property is stunning. It's so well done and was perfectly clean as well. I would absolutely stay here again. Plenty of room for my family of 4, kids ages 10 and 12.
