About this property

Georgian Apartment in the heart of Edinburgh's Newtown.

Located in the very heart of Edinburgh's Newtown just the shortest of strolls to George and Princes Street. Bright and spacious Georgian apartment with high ceilings and five bedrooms four of which are en-suite. Situated on the third and fourth floor of a Queen St Newtown building circa 1776 (ish). Please note whilst we do have lots of character we do not have lift access, so do bear this in mind if concerned about the climb.

The property sits next to No19Apartment and these can be reserved together.

Note: Scottish government has introduced licencing for all self catering properties. As of October 1st 2023 all properties must have applied for such a licence however Government have given themsleves 12 months to respond to applications. In the unlikely event we are forced to close during this time a full refund will be given.

Licence granted August 2024 Licence no: EH-70233-F

Loved our stay!
There were 12 of us who stayed in March. Nice private rooms with a large family area to gather at the end of the day. The loft was very charming and the location was great! Communication with the owners was easy and responses were quick. Don't be intimidated by the stairs… they were fine.

Fantastic Stay!
The flat was fantastic for a large group! It’s central location made it so easy to get to the main sites of Edinburgh with so many great restaurant and bars in the immediate vicinity. The flat itself was spacious and clean and working with the owners was brilliant - they are great people and wouldn’t hesitate to come back and stay there again!

Heart of the Highlights!
It was Fantastic!!! We could not have been more pleased!!! The place is excellent, having 5 bedrooms and 5 baths is a real plus for couples and a large group with many rooms having 3 beds. The place is very comfortable and well equipped. It’s location is perfect for visiting, via walking, many of the highlights New and Old Town. Stephen and Belinda are grand hosts who are always timely in their responses and very helpful!!!

Festive Period Flat
We stayed for 10 days. This listing was very accurate and the flat worked great for us... so many bedrooms and baths with all adults having a place to retreat to when time alone was needed. The owners were quite responsive to any inquiries, and the location--just down from the National Gallery/Christmas Market and away from the Royal Mile crowds--worked great. Glad we picked this flat/location!

Family Vacation
Property was perfect for our family - total of 8, 6 adults and 2 children. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for all of us. Kitchen was well equipped and the combo living and dining room area worked well. Easy walk to all the key sights and plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. Only caution - do be mindful there are lots of stairs. Not a problem for our family, but others could be challenged. Stephen and Belinda were super accomodating and responsive - including our check-in/check-out. Definitely recommend. Great property all around.

Your cleaning folks need to do a better job. We found food crusted on some of the pots and pans and cooking utensils. Potato chips raisins and cereal under the dining table. Never could figure out the coffee maker. Really glad you had 2 French presses.

Fantastic huge flat, perfect location
Unique and perfect for our large family group. Easy to find, the hosts respond immediately to questions. Every room having its own bathroom is a massive plus. We all loved the location, near the Water of Leith and so close to National Gallery and Waverly Station. Another plus was the best dryer I’ve ever encountered in Europe which is no small thing. A dark entryway (also exitway) where dark objects can be left behind is the only negative I can think of.

Great location!
We loved this loft! It had ample space for our large family. The bedrooms each have their own bathroom which was fantastic! We may have overlooked this in the description, but we were not expecting it to be a 3rd floor walk up without a lift; so we were a little concerned about the 75 year old that was with us managing the steps, but she did fine. If you are traveling with anyone who might have difficulty climbing that many stairs, you’ll want to pass on this one. Otherwise, I would highly recommend the property! It was updated and decorated really nicely. The location was awesome and close to shopping and restaurants, bars. Fairly easy walk to the train station as well.

Location and Comfort
Absolutely loved "The Loft" We were in Edinburgh for the Holidays so we enjoyed Christmas and New Years Eve. The location of this property is magnificent. Just a short walk to the main drag of George St., Princes St, Waverly Station and Old Town. Quaint pubs and delicious eateries abound. Highly recommend Amarone, a great Italian place at St. Andrew Square. The Loft was well equipped with nice touches including little holiday treat packs in each bedroom and a nice bottle of gin in the Kitchen. The owners went over and above the normal preparation. The lounge was a great place to gather for a meal or to play a game. The perfect property for a family trip to Scotland. Hope to return soon.

Everything We Wanted
This apartment was perfect for a group of 8 of us who were in Edinburgh to celebrate my birthday. The location was so convenient for everything, including public transportation. The pictures don't do it justice - it is stylish and roomy and cozy all simultaneously. Far more spacious than we were expecting. The beds were comfortable, and even the showers were nice. For those who are put off by the stairs, don't be! I have knee and ankle problems, and the stairs were not an issue. Stephen and Belinda are great hosts. They answered all of my questions prior to my trip, and quickly handled a minor issue. Just a fantastic stay all the way around.

Wonderful Apartment for a Large Group
Our extended family of 12 stayed at this house over New Years. The house is as described in the listing, clean, and well decorated. There was plenty of space in the dining/living for us to hang out and watch tv together and the kitchen was well stocked with a small supply of coffee and teas and basic spices. Four of the five bedrooms had their own bathroom. They were small but worked great for everyone to have their own space and privacy. The location cannot be beat. We walked every where and there were markets, shops and restaurants all around us. Communication between owners and check-in/out was easy. Our only criticism is that some of the beds/mattresses seem dated and springy and the pillows (1 provided at each bed) were really flat and uncomfortable. We loved the apartment but everyone complained about not sleeping great.
