Wonderful townhouse, perfect location.
This wonderful townhouse was located in a perfect city center location. It is in walking distance to just about everything your site seeing heart desires, also a ton restaurants and shopping. The townhouse is 3 levels. Bottom level has a living room, bedroom and separate bathroom. The 2nd level has a 2nd living room, a small single sized bedroom, the kitchen and dining area. The 3rd level has 2 large en-suite bedrooms. The street the home sits on is quaint and historical looking with the cobblestones. The home itself is restored beautifully. The only minor suggestion I have is to possible replace the carpet in the carpeted areas such as the 1st level bedroom with something softer. The carpet now has a rough texture and not comfortable on bare feet. Again it is a very minor suggestion. This home is a great place for family, friends, or just about anyone.

Really good set up for a family get together
This property suited us very well for what we wanted. Good sized bedrooms and plenty living accommodation in a central venue. It was easy walking to the various events we had planned. Beds were comfy, nice fluffy towels and good seating areas. The welcome hamper was very nice. Communication with the manager was also good. There was some street noise to be aware of though.

Spacious property in central location
Perfect stay for our son’s wedding in central Edinburgh. Easy to find. Garage for the car nearby-very handy. Enough room for us to have our separate space but come together in the communal areas. Tasteful decoration. Well equipped kitchen. Spotless & comfortable.

Loved the entire experience!
We were only able to stay two days, but the location is fabulous close to grocery, restaurants, and our favorite pub “The Oxford”, just a few doors down. Very quiet at night and peaceful for a large city. Royal Mile is a simple 30 min walk. Stay was made even better with a wonderful basket of treats and wine. Showers and Bedrooms were fantastic as well!!! Only great things to say and hope to visit again very soon!!!

Beautiful Home - Comfortable, Spotless, Perfect Location!
Beautiful property - every detail taken care of! Spread out over 3 floors - plenty of room for everyone! We had 6 of us and we all had our own space and plenty of areas to congregate together to talk over plans or play a game with a glass or two of wine! Beds - all comfortable! Showers - wonderful! So many little details throughout the home. Located so conveniently to the heart of Edinburgh - easy for exploring with numerous restaurants, pubs and shopping nearby. Communication with our host was easy and all instructions were clear and concise. Our family so appreciated the welcome basket with goodies, wine and coffee!! Thank you so much for your kindness!!! This home is lovely - beware of the stairs if you have mobility guests - but otherwise everything (and I mean everything) was perfect!!! Hope to visit again one day!

Perfect stay in the perfect part of town!!
Our family of 5 adults and a teenager all agreed this place was spectacular! The location was perfect, right around the corner from what became our favorite coffee shop, it had easy access to all the things we wanted to see. The home was very comfortable and spacious, there was a room for everyone. The hosts had a welcome basket and stocked the fridge with water, milk and orange juice! Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable, the showers were hot and relaxing. We also loved the washer and dryer! We would absolutely come back if we're ever in town again!

Perfect!
We were a group of 7 and this exquisite town house was perfect. Awaiting us was a lovely welcome basket of goodies. The information they left for groceries stores, appliance use etc. was great. However, it was the town house itself that was just so lovely. It was ideal for morning planning and evening debriefing (with a wee dram or some wine). It is perfectly located with shopping and sites (Dean's Village, Royal Mile ) near by. We had a least one stop at he Oxford (for Ian Rankin fans). We would highly recommend this vrbo and should we find ourselves in Edinburgh again would be delighted to stay here again. Thank you Christine for your excellent communication when we found ourselves in a bit of limbo hiking in the highlands.

Absolutely AMAZING home!
If only every property rental could be like this one!! We enjoyed our Edinburgh stay so much that the rest of trip just could not measure up! This home is perfect from top to bottom. The welcome basket of treats and basics stocked in the refrigerator is not only an excellent touch, it also helped to make us feel immediately at home. It’s hard to be away from your comforts but this house enhanced our stay to give us a proper holiday. Edinburgh is a gem, the people are fantastic and if you get a chance to stay at this property, you will definitely want to come back. We can’t wait to visit Scotland again and will only stay here when we return! All bedrooms and bathrooms were spotless, comfortable and spacious. A million thanks for a superb stay!!

It was clean, spacious and extremely comfortable. There was a sumptuous gift basket of local treats which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was the height of luxury: loads of room, the newest of electronics (a blue tooth speaker, large display screens, wireless charging pads) many items of comfort such as dressing tables, top-of-the- line furnishings and accessories that were comfortable and stylish. Thankyou for designing such a lovely place to stay.

JUST AMAZING
This property is the best! Location is perfect - close enough to everything you'd want for the old town Edinburgh experience but far enough away that you don't hear all the noise. The property by far is the most beautiful and well equipped we've stayed in thus far. Be prepared to be wowed. Not enough words to write about how beautiful it was. Don't look at any other properties - this is the PERFECT one.

Beautiful Home In The Heart of New Town
Extremely roomy and comfortable home in a great location for exploring Edinburgh. Access was simple and communication with the hosts was very good. They also left a very thoughtful gift basket with high quality snacks and drinks. The two rooms with king size beds and nice en-suite bathrooms made the stay a joy for the four adults while the two other bedrooms were perfect for the kids. The kitchen/dining area and the two living rooms were also spacious, nicely decorated, and well appointed. We loved our stay here. It should be noted that the home is spread over three floors which was a plus for us, but could be a slight issue if you have mobility issues. We would not hesitate to stay here again and appreciate the hosts hospitality. Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Graham & Sarah Mitchell

Host profile image
Setting up Graham Mitchell Architects in 1997, the business has developed in to a well-established architectural practice with offices both in Aberdeen and Edinburgh. We have a varied experience in both residential and commercial sectors with projects ranging from small house extensions and large new build bespoke houses to healthcare facilities, offices, agricultural buildings and hotels.

Why they chose this property

Having both business and family links with Edinburgh, we embarked on a personal venture to have a property in the city that allowed us to be both client and architect.

The Georgian architecture of Edinburgh's New Town is beautiful and we just fell in love with it!

What makes this property unique

Forming part of a Category A listed terrace, the building had been converted into offices which were then lying vacant. Having been altered many times over the years, we set about lovingly restoring the building to its former glory as a single townhouse. The process has been both exciting and at times daunting; from uncovering the original period features and intrinsic charm of the property to managing the renovation building works on site, leaving us with a house of which we are immensely proud.
