Occupying space over two floors, this tastefully designed apartment offers a spacious open-plan living area with double full-length windows overlooking Shandwick Place. The bright and airy lounge has two large, comfy sofas and features a stately dining table and chairs that seat four guests.

Entertainment needs are well catered for too, with a smart TV and complimentary WiFi.
When you’ve had your fill of exploring the closes and cobbled streets, you can be assured of a good night’s sleep as both elegantly decorated bedrooms overlook the quieter, rear of the property. The master bedroom features a king-size bed and has its own contemporary en-suite shower room. The second bedroom has a double bed and plentiful storage.
