About this property

Lovely central Edinburgh apartment, sleeps 4

Newly refurbished, traditional Edinburgh flat (125 years old). Very bright & sunny in a quiet but central location in bustling Tollcross, 10 minutes walk to Princes Street & the delights of the old town. Great cafes, restaurants & bars on the doorstep. Lovely shared garden which is perfect to relax in on a nice summer afternoon, there are deck chairs and a picnic blanket. We aim to provide everything you might need for a short city break - shower wash, shampoo, toothpaste, tea, coffee, milk, etc.
There is one double bedroom with a new 'Premier Inn' queen (5ft) Hypnos bed, and a spacious sitting room with a full size double bed settee, kitchen, shower room and large boxroom/utility. There is room to eat in the sitting room and free wifi is provided. We can be flexible with check-in/out times providing no one is staying before or after guests.

Both Edinburgh and Napier Universities are close by, as are some of their halls of residence - ideal for visiting parents or prospective students.

Lovely host. Very pleasant property.
This flat is in an older building. Claire has put a lot of thought and effort into its functionality and decor. We were very comfortable there. Claire is very accommodating and communicates well. She rescued us from a mishap of our own making. We walked everywhere we wanted to go but buses seemed to be readily available. We took a taxi from Waverly station on arrival and walked back on departure. Walking was doable if reasonably fit. Overall loved Edinburgh, Claire was extraordinary and the flat was comfortable and well appointed. Laurie and Mae

We'll be back!
Our second stay at Clare and Mike's flat felt like coming home. My husband and I loved our experience here last year and were happy to have an opportunity to stay again. This time we brought our 27-year-old daughter on the trip; she slept on the cleverly designed fold-out couch and said it was quite comfy. The place has everything you'd need or want, including some special touches (tiny, candle-shaped bedside lamps that provide great reading light; a decanter of whisky; jam and butter in the fridge). This neighborhood is so convenient to everything that you might not ever need to take a bus, but if you do you'll find them readily available and quick. Dealing with the owners is a breeze, and they seem genuinely interested in the welfare and comfort of their guests. We'd love to make a regular occurrence of our stays here.

Great stay
Clare was very helpful and friendly. Showed us how to work things besides giving us written instructions. Used a map to explain how to get places. She made a call for us when we didnt know how to contact this particular agency. Love Clare!

A great place to stay wirh wonderful owners
Everything about both the property and the owners was fantastic. Clare and Mike's apartment was very cosy and situated perfectly for exploring Edinburgh. Communication from booking to checkout was excellent. The apartment was spotless, very nicely decorated and very comfortable - we felt at home immediately. If you want a cosy home while you're in Edinburgh, stop looking - this is the place! Next time we visit, finding accommodation will be a no-brainer (as long as you haven't booked it first!). Thanks Clare and Mike!

About the host

Hosted by Clare

Host profile image
I live in the beautiful city of Edinburgh with my husband Mike and 2 daughters, plus 2 step-children, mad Jack Russell terrier and 'lucky to still be alive' hamster.
Love New Zealand, Spain, Italy, New York and the Western Highlands of Scotland. We've been renting our apartment since June 2016 and so far guests seem to love our flat.

Why they chose this property

In a fabulous, central location, close to all the sights of Edinburgh. I grew up half a mile away so know the area very well.

What makes this property unique

Sunny, cosy and very comfortable. An opportunity to experience tenement living in a traditional old Edinburgh property. Lots to do, close to the city centre but 2 minutes walk to the peaceful green expanse of the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links. Our neighbours have been very welcoming and helpful to our guests - not always the case in busy cities!
