Luxury central Edinburgh with stunning views of castle!

Location, location, location!

The Robert Louis Stevenson Suite is a luxury apartment with unprecedented views of Edinburgh Castle. Located just 2 minutes from the iconic Princes St on the corner of George St (lots of shopping, bars and restaurants) and North Castle St, the apartment is in the heart of the New Town, making it an ideal base for visiting all the main tourist sites of Edinburgh.

The apartment block was one of the first flats to be built in the New Town by James Craig in 1790 and sits directly adjacent to the Edinburgh town house of Sir Walter Scott! For the sake of clarity, the apartment is located on the first floor of the building and from street level there are approx 20 steps (no elevator as one of the first buildings to be erected in "The new Town" and is a listed building). The steps are more gradual and winding than steep and vertical.

The flat opens into a square reception hall providing access to all rooms. To the front of the flat and with a southerly aspect from its twin windows is a magnificent drawing room featuring a gas fire with iron grate and pretty timber mantle, dado paneling and delicate plaster work. A glazed door provides secondary access from the drawing room into a striking breakfasting kitchen fitted with an attractive range of painted timber units topped with thick granite surfaces and incorporating a full range of integrated appliances, including a recessed range cooker set, oven/grill, and microwave as well as a washing machine and full height fridge/freezer.
The bedrooms comprise a generously proportioned master bedroom with a king size bed and dual aspect views towards Edinburgh Castle. This bedroom features secondary double glazing and also benefits from a luxurious en-suite shower room.
The second bedroom is set up with twin beds (can be pushed together to form a double on request) and is served by an equally well fitted family bathroom off the hall.
Larger parties can enquire about our apartment in the same building - The Walter Scott Suite ( same building below this one on the first floor), has the same high spec and stunning views of Edinburgh Castle. Combined, both properties can accommodate up to 8 / 10 people comfortably. It has the same stunning views of Edinburgh Castle and can be made available by special request.

Home away from Home!

An excellent location with all the amenities of home! We loved staying at this spacious, centrally located flat for a week while in Edinburgh! Walking distance to everything, we enjoyed exploring the city and then looked forward to our return to the flat to relax and enjoy the amenities. Definitely would stay here again.

Vacation in Scotland

We stayed in Edinburgh after visiting the Highlands. We enjoyed the apartment very much. It is in a great location and also very comfortable. It is within walking distance of many popular attractions as well as to bus lines and the Waverly Train Station. The neighborhood also has great restaurants nearby. We would definitely recommend it.

Perfect location in Edinburgh

This was our second stay in this unit and we loved it both times! Owner is helpful and responsive. Stairs up to the first floor were very manageable with our small bags. Location is perfectly central for so many areas and and easy walk to both the bus station and Waverley train. We hope to come back!

Very comfortable apartment in the most convenient area

We really enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. The beds were comfy. The living room is spacious. The location is fantastic. We walked everywhere but if you need a taxi they come when scheduled via the number left at the flat. The host was amazingly prompt in messaging at the beginning of our stay when we needed a bit of help. We recommend this rental highly!

Cozy Flat in a Great Location

Flat was very spacious and comfortable. The host provided a helpful how-to-guide which was very useful though coming from the U.S. we did have to figure out how to power on the refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher which were without power when we arrived. Despite the cool, rainy weather we had a great stay and would consider again if we come back to Edinburgh.

What a View!

Morris is an excellent host. Quality amenities and clear/concise communications. Everything was as promised. Beds were very comfortable, everything was verqy clean. Very walkable, with plentiful restaurants all around. We enjoyed seeing the castle lit in the evening. Coffee shop directly across the street with excellent pastries, hot drinks and milkshakes. Co-Op grocery short block walk away.

Great location but very loud from neighbor bars

This location is amazing. Central to everything we wanted to do. The only problems we encountered was the noise level every night (week day and weekend) from the bars surrounding the place. Unfortunately keeping us up every night with loud music and loud cars till almost 3am. The place itself was great, don’t expect to take much of a shower due to low water pressure and cold water but again I still enjoyed my stay. The communication with the host was great and directions were clear. It has a lot of room and was nice to have space for my family and I.

dissapointed in actual apartment. Entrance was dirty and smelled like a beer parlour. Apartment needed a facelift to actually look as it was shown. Overpriced for the money we paid.

Responsive host

Difficulty in checking in, no key in the lockbox, several calls to Morris failed to rectify the situation so he came and met us and we were able to resolve the problem. One issue, which may seem petty, but was problematic was the fact we had 3 1/2 small rolls of toilet paper for 4 adults for 4 days !

Spacious apartment close to everything

Stayed with my husband and adult son for 5 days, we were in Edinburgh for a wedding. Apartment was large and well appointed, even had an ironing board for our our formal attire that traveled in a suitcase. Easy walk to all the shops, restaurants, Old Town, the location couldn't be beat. I hadn't received detailed check-in instructions by the time we got there, but owner was immediately responsive to our texts and got us in quickly. I would definitely stay again!

Perfect location!

This lovely, light-filled, spacious flat is perfectly located to walk to most sites in Edinburgh. Lots of great restaurants within walking distance. Morris is helpful and responsive-we would definitely stay here again. The only negatives are noise at night (one bedroom has double glazing that helps), and stairs, if they are an issue for your party.

Perfect location!

My family and I stayed here for the Christmas and New Year holidays. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The home was very clean and there was plenty of room for the four of us. The apartment matched the pictures that were posted. We were able to walk just about everywhere we wanted to go though it was very easy getting an Uber/taxi if needed. This apartment is in New Town and the walk to the Royal Mile/Old Town wasn't bad. There are lots of restaurants and bars near by and I would recommend making reservations if you are visiting during a busy season. There is actually a bar literally next door to the apartment called Tonic which provides very tasty cocktails. There is also a Co-op/grocery store on Frederick street that was within walking distance that had everything we needed. Morris was very easy to communicate with when we needed to reach out. Overall we were pleased with our stay and I would recommend this apartment to any fellow traveler.
