About this property

Grassmarket apartment with stunning Edinburgh Castle view

My Grassmarket apartment is immediately next to Edinburgh Castle, with a stunning direct view up to the castle from the livingroom window. The Royal Mile and the Old Town are only 2 minutes walking distance. The Grassmarket is full of traditional pubs, restaurants, coffee houses and boutique shops. It is also central for Princes Street, the main shopping areas, museums and city centre tourist attractions. The location could not be better for the Festival, Hogmanay and both tourist and business visitors. It is well served by public transport and a taxi rank as well as city bus tour pick up points. A luxurious apartment in a prime location to fully enjoy Edinburgh.
The apartment itself is only recently refurbished throughout and I have made every effort to make it feel homely and comfortable. A home from home right in the heart of old Edinburgh.

Only one real issue.
Shower temperature was not controllable. You either got ice cold or painfully scalding. That needs work.

Perfect view
The view from the Castle Apartment is just stunning. The check-in process was easy and location so close to everything. We had no trouble with noise from the bars, even on Friday night. Loved the architectural details in the old building. Although the entrance to the apartment may present a challenge to some, the spiral stairs add to the charm. While a few updates to the flooring and shower would make this place perfect, I would still highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh. We would definitely come again.

Charming and comfortable with an unparalleled view!
This apartment is perfectly located to enjoy the offerings of the old Edinburgh city center, including good food, shopping and whiskey tasting. The inside is clean and updated, charmingly furnished, and cozy. The owner was readily available and responsive to questions. And of course, the view of the castle does not disappoint! We highly recommend the Castle Apartment for your Edinburgh stay!

About the host

Hosted by Amanda Burnett

Host profile image
I am Amanda, I am 44 years old, married to Shaun, with 2 sons Ashton (9) and Clark (6). We have lived our whole lives in Edinburgh and love the city. As a family we take full advantage of everything Edinburgh has to offer including the festival, shows, history, museums, the zoo, the Britannia yacht, Dynamic Earth, scenery and walks, shopping, restaurants and occasionally night life.
Personally, I also enjoy running and cycling and I take advantage of the beach and woods for both.
I'm very proud of Edinburgh and so being a holiday let landlord is great for me, I really enjoy welcoming and helping others to make the most of the beautiful city I'm so proud of.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful apartment has been very recently refurbished throughout and is a comfortable home from home within the Grassmarket where there's so much within walking distance to enjoy.
The stair itself is also very secure.

What makes this property unique

Quite simply - the location and the view. Looking straight up at Edinburgh Castle, based in the heart of the Grassmarket. Modern comfort with a true feel of historic Edinburgh.
