About this property

Central, Modern Apartment close to the Royal Mile with wonderful views

How we’re keeping you safe.

We want you to feel relaxed in our apartment. Self catering may be the safest way to take your holidays during the Covid-19 crisis because you have the entire place to yourselves. While none of us can know the exact risk, here are the steps we’re taking to protect you from infection:

1. We already operate a keybox system which means that you won’t need to collect the keys from our concierge
2, We have risk assessed our apartment to ensure we’re ahead of hygiene and infection control protocol
3. Our cleaning team have designed a check sheet specifically for this apartment so that the highest standards can be easily met

How you can help.

1. For your safety, we would recommend removing shoes and washing your hands on entry throughout your stay.
2. To protect us all, we ask that you report any Covid-19 symptoms to our concierge team straightaway.



Pleasance apartment is fully equipped for up to four adults plus one baby.

There's one double bedroom with zip/link beds (can be king size or twin), a double sofa bed (138cm x 185cm) in the living room and cot and highchair.

There are two roomy fitted wardrobes and a hall cupboard for suitcase storage.

Gas, electricity, towels and linen are all included in the price. Washing up liquid, dishtowels, loo rolls and washing machine tablets will also be provided.

The apartment is one of 9 apartments in a quiet, modern, well lit tenement.

I live too far away to be on hand during your stay. To make sure you enjoy your time I use a Professional Concierge agency. They'll be on hand for you throughout your visit.

Check in will be arranged in advance so you have no fear of delayed flights or late arrivals and can come and go as you please.

I have been letting this holiday apartment for 8 years and feel confident you will enjoy the perfect holiday accommodation.

There is a welcome folder available on arrival with help and guidance on all aspects of the apartment usage.

Great location, terrific stay
Thanks Susie for great communication and info to make our stay brilliant. Well situated near Edinburgh University, this flat was perfect for walking to everything in Edinburgh, with easy access to Arthur’s Seat as well. Perfect for the keen hiker! Definitely recommend.

Handy flat for sightseeing
Host was accommodating and flat was walking distance to Royal Mile and had great views of Arthur’s Seat. Only issue is it’s a third floor flat without an elevator/lift so be prepared to carry luggage. If you are sleeping in the living room on the pullout, there is street noise. Bedroom is quiet

Ruhiges Appartement für viel Geld
Super Bett, gute Heizung, kurzer Weg zum Bahnhof und zur Innenstadt, schöner Blick auf Holyrood park, im Schlafzimmer sehr ruhig. Es könnte sauberer sein. Für unsere Bedürfnisse war es sehr gut, aber auch sehr teuer.

Charming and Convenient: A Perfect Edinburgh Stay
I recently stayed in this cozy apartment in Edinburgh and had a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic—conveniently close to key attractions, restaurants, and public transport, making it easy to explore the city. The apartment itself is charming and well-maintained, with all the comforts one could need for a relaxing stay. From the comfortable bed to the well-equipped kitchen, every detail was thoughtfully arranged. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient base while visiting Edinburgh.

A little overpriced
Street noise in living room made it difficult to sleep and cigarette smoke from adjacent apartment came right through walls. Hard to keep shower water from leaking onto floor. However, view from bedroom was nice and instructions for check in were clear and helpful.

Great location and set-up
This flat is a reasonable size for Edinburgh, well equipped and clean. With windows on both sides, it receives lots of light. The bedroom view of The Crags changes frequently with the light and weather. The location is excellent, with easy walking access to both the city/university and trails on Arthur's Seat and The Crags. However, it was also easy to jump on a bus or call a taxi if needed. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom had enough room. The kitchen had everything you need to prepare light meals or serve up a take-away. There's an excellent Greek cafe just across the street by the red telephone box. I certainly plan to return.

Eine Woche in Edinburgh
Wir haben uns in der Wohnung wohl gefühlt. Die Lage ist super, wir haben von dort aus alles zu Fuß gemacht, die touristischen Hotspots sind binnen weniger Minuten erreichbar. Es fährt aber auch ein Bus vor der Tür. Das Schlafzimmer hat eine tolle Aussicht und ist sehr ruhig. Die Betten sind sehr bequem dort. Die Schlafcouch im Wohnzimmer ist nicht so bequem, es ist auch inzwischen eine andere als die auf den Fotos. Auch der Fernseher ist offenbar durch einen kleineren ersetzt worden. Küche und Bad sind klein, aber völlig ausreichend. Ich kann die Wohnung für einen Städtetrip nach Edinburgh bedenkenlos empfehlen, für zwei Erwachsene optimal, bei mehr Personen wird es ein bisschen eng und das Schlafen nicht mehr so bequem für die die im Wohnzimmer schlafen müssen.

Wonderful stay in Edinborough!
Susie's is a lovely flat with a spectacular view, strategically located within short walking distance of a multitude of attractions. The flat itself is clean, bright, warm and welcoming. There is a café directly across the street that serves excellent coffee and breakfast to start your day. We would highly recommend this VRBO if you are traveling to this historically rich and flavorful city!

Quiet place close to city center
This is a well kept property with wonderful views from any window. The bedroom faces a quiet side street and the beds can be set up as two single or one large bed. Guests from Germany will enjoy that a blanket per bed can be provided. You just have to ask, Eddie and his team help quickly and with a smile. The spacious living room overlooks a small garden and a medium city road. The home is on the third floor and there is no elevator. We liked the closeness to the city center. Several stores were in easy walking distance (Lidl, Sainsburry, Tesco). There is no free parking on the premises, but a parking garage is just a few minutes away. And if you have time go and enjoy a stroll up Arthurs Seat!

Good location
I really enjoyed our stay. The place has great views out front and back windows. It was close to stores for shopping and the apartment had pretty much all of the basics. Drawback was being on the 3rd floor and dragging luggage up 3 flights of stairs. Also, it's a college area and drunk kids were yelling and laughing into the early morning (every single night). The shower had a folding glass screen instead of a curtain that only extended out a few feet so if not careful the bathroom could get all wet. But I liked the place overall.

We enjoyed "living in the neighborhood". Eddie responded to the few concerns we had which turned out to be our not understanding. He was very kind. Everything was just great. Susie responded immediately to my questions and check in was smooth.

What makes this property unique

What is a City Break?

It's a lover's getaway.
It's the farewell of your child to university or the celebration of their graduation.
It's the weight of a family's expectation or your child's good nights' sleep.
It's the haven between important job interviews or a home from home when work takes you from loved ones.
It's a chance to reminisce, return, retread old paths or discover new interests and loves.
It's a party with friends in a truly international capital city.

It's an investment in your hope, money and time. We understand that it's important to you. It's important to us, too. Wherever you end up, have a great stay in Edinburgh, our favourite city.
