About this property
Royal Mile Tenement Flat Retreat
The perfect location for travellers to stay! Traditional Scottish tenement building! Preserving original architectural details! Modern, luxurious, and comfortable interior design! The apartment is in a listed building in the conservative area of the historic old town. The Royal Mile is only a one-minute walk away, and Edinburgh’s Waverley train station is a five-minute walk. Our beloved home has been renovated and decorated in contemporary style, it features ceiling roses and other original details, alongside designer furniture and top-of-the-range fixtures and fittings. There are 2 bedrooms in the flat, 1 king bed and 1 single bed. It's ideal for one family as the small bedroom is quite small and be aware it has to be accessed through the large bedroom. The bathroom and kitchen units and fittings are top brands: Hansgrohe, Blanco, Ideal Standard, Geberit, Crosswater, Grohe. All the appliances such as washing machine, heat pump condenser dryer, TV, hob, oven and fridge are top brands: Smeg, Samsung. Furniture is well-made and stylish designer solid wooden pieces instead of MDF products. Luxury 22mm premium wooden floor was installed in the living room, bedrooms, and hallway. BG Master plug Brushed Steel Double Switched Socket with USB Outlets were installed everywhere so that you don't need any charger.
As I mentioned, the flat is in the best location, only 1 min walk from the famous busy Royal Mile. Luckily, our flat is located on the side street and we believe that a quiet space is essential for our guests, so we spent more than £4000 to install a secondary glazing - Heritage Hinged Units, glazed with 6.4mm acoustic glass, which significantly reduced the noise.

A beautiful space in a great location, just off the main road. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. It was a good size for us - a couple travelling with our adult daughter. The second bedroom is a single bed and you access it from the main bedroom.
Shu was very accommodating and quick to answer any questions we had.
The location of this property is unbeatable. It is mins away from literally everything.
For example we went to the National Museum of Scotland in the morning which is 10 mins away. We could pop back for lunch and a nap and then go back again.
We found the two restaurants on the same street were top notch and reasonably priced. Both require reservations.
We found everything we needed. I forgot the bring an umbrella and asked the host to borrow one.
Beware that the second bedroom has a twin bed and you need to walk through the main bedroom to get to it. It is perfect for a couple with kids or close relatives who you don’t mind walking through your bedroom to the bedroom at night.
The unit is located one level above ground. There is a set of stairs case that may be a challenge for some.
The street and the common area isn’t spotless. As it is in the old town.
