About this property

1BR unit near Greyfriars Church with garden views

Summary:

Welcome to a charming Edinburgh apartment overlooking the historic Greyfriars Kirkyard - right in the heart of the Old Town.



- Sleeps 2 | 1 bedroom | 1 UK King size bed | 1 bath

- Steps from Victoria St, Grassmarket & the Royal Mile

- City skyline & garden views from a second-floor perch

- Full kitchen w/ oven, coffee maker, wine glasses & more

- Washer, Wi-Fi, smart TV & hotel-quality linens included

- Greyfriars Bobby statue right outside your door



The Space:

Greyfriars Kirkyard is right outside your window - one of Edinburgh's most storied corners, where centuries of history press up against cobblestone lanes and the city hums quietly below. This second-floor apartment puts you at the intersection of Old Town atmosphere and everyday convenience, a rare position for a stay in Scotland's capital.



The living space

The apartment is compact and well-considered, with everything arranged for a comfortable stay. Natural light filters in over the rooftops, and the city skyline and garden views give the space a sense of place that a featureless hotel room simply cannot offer. A dining table provides a spot to eat in, plan your days, or simply sit with a coffee and watch the city wake up.



Sleeping arrangements

One UK king-sized bed dressed in soft, hotel-quality linens awaits after long days of exploring. The bedroom includes clothing storage, hangers, and bed linens - the practical details that make a stay feel settled rather than transient.



Kitchen & dining

The full kitchen is genuinely equipped for cooking. You will find a refrigerator, freezer, oven, stove, microwave, hot water kettle, toaster, and coffee maker, along with cooking basics including pots, pans, oil, salt, and pepper. Wine glasses and a baking sheet round out the kit, so whether you are putting together a simple breakfast or a proper meal, the tools are there.



Bathroom

Plush towels are provided, along with hair dryer, shampoo, body soap, shower gel, and cleaning products. Hot water is reliable - a small thing that matters after a full day on Edinburgh's hills.



Practical details

The apartment includes Wi-Fi, a smart TV, washer, iron, heating, smoke alarm, and carbon monoxide alarm. Luggage drop-off is available for guests with early arrivals or late departures, and long-term stays of 28 days or more are welcome.



Getting around

Picturesque Victoria Street is a 5 minute walk away from the apartment, grab a coffee as you saunter down leading to Grassmarket where you could stop for a spot of lunch and people watching. The apartment is also around a 15 minute walk from Waverley Station making it handy for traveling to and around Edinburgh.



A local landmark worth knowing

For those unfamiliar with the story, Greyfriars Bobby was a loyal dog who gained popularity due to him spending his remaining years guarding the grave of his owner. He is commemorated by a statue just outside of this apartment where you will notice his gold nose, give it a rub and good luck is said to come your way!

Difficile d'être mieux placé. La vue sur le cimetière est précieuse. Il manque juste un ou deux fauteuils individuels dans le salon et une pelle pour ramasser la poussière un livret mode d'emploi pour la télé et guide des choses à voir. Rien de grave cependant.
