Detailed Description
This lovely semi detached Victorian villa is set out on ground and lower ground floors and provides luxury accommodation for those looking for 'home from home' comfort. It is very well appointed throughout, comprising 'main door' entrance into hallway, a spacious lounge with bay window, double bedroom, family bathroom, compact and well equipped kitchen and dining area (seats 8 persons). Stairs lead to 2 further bedrooms on the lower ground floor and double bedroom with ensuite shower facilities and also a quiet single bedroom. There is a side door way giving access to a paved rear courtyard area with table / chairs and BBQ facilities. Wi-fi and TV. There is also 'free' on street car parking nearby, rare for such a central location! You'll have exclusive use of this main door ground and lower ground apartment and access to the rear garden area.

Neighbourhood
A perfect spot in a highly sought after residential area, which is ideally located for visits to the Old Town, Arthur’s Seat / Holyrood Park and the Royal Commonwealth Pool. The nearby Cameron Toll shopping centre has a large 'Sainbury Superstore' and the apartment is within 25-30 mins walk from the Old Town (using google walking directions). For those who prefer, it is on a very regular bus service into town (along Dalkeith Road, 10-15 mins journey time).
Restaurants
There is of course 'Prestonfield House', a 5 star hotel with fine dining and sumptuous cream teas (within 5 minutes walk). Within 10-15 mins walk are many restaurants, my choices would be The Apiary, Hanedan (Turkish), Dicks at Summerhall Place, Blonde and Los Argentinos (Steakhouse). There's also a nice pub called 'The Salisbury Arms' opposite the Royal Commonwealth Pool and only 5 mins walk away. There's a lot to choose from close at hand!
Getting around
A 10 minute walk into Holyrood Park / Arthurs Seat, 25-30 walk into Edinburgh's Old Town or on very regular bus service into Edinburgh City Centre (along Dalkeith Road). You can also park your car 'for free' on nearby streets, a rarity in central Edinburgh, so saving you around £25 per day on charges.
