About this property

Delightful city-centre maindoor flat - bright and sunny with private courtyard

You'll be in Edinburgh's most splendid Georgian location amidst this UNESCO World Heritage site. Here the grand façade is arranged around a lavish circular garden, with restricted road access affording it a surreal sense of calm and silence - perhaps best appreciated after dark under the New Town's atmospheric white street lights.
Despite the peace, bohemian Stockbridge is a delightful 5 minute walk along cobbled streets, whilst George Street's high-end shops and venues are similarly close by to the south.
Accessed via a private gate down a short stone staircase, the front door can be found opening onto a sunny but sheltered courtyard which is a magical spot for al-fresco breakfasting or evening drinks. Once inside the open-plan layout is clean, comfortable and fully-equipped for your stay, with enough period features (high skirting boards and working shutters) to remind you where you are.

One of the best apartments we have stayed in.
From the moment you walk in the door you feel at home. Beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and everything and I mean everything is thought of to make you feel not only at home but also very, very comfortable. A beautifully laid out welcome tray awaited us : bread, milk, butter, delicious jam, chocolates, biscuits, muesli and a bottle of red. A hot water bottle on the very comfy and very cosy bed. Shampoo and body wash and even washing powder tablets for the machine that washed and dried. It was a delight to come back to the apartment after a long day out touring sites in Edinburgh. It was cool in Edinburgh at night during August and there was adequate heating throughout the apartment to keep us warm, even a heated towel rail in the bathroom which was lovely. The neighbourhood is great. You are only a short stroll away from Stockbridge and a 15min walk to the hub of Edinburgh. Our hosts were lovely to deal with. Communication before during and after our stay was outstanding. Weng and Martin contacted us several times during our stay via txt to make sure everything was fine and to provide detail on events we might be interested. It was not intrusive and a welcome communication. One point I would mention to travellers with large heavy suitcases, like us, is to be beware of the stairs as the apartment is a basement apartment. It wasn’t an issue just be aware. Thank you Martin and Weng we loved our trip to Scotland and it was made even better staying at your beautiful studio in Edinburgh. A truly positive experience.

5 Stars is not enough
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Edinburgh, with Weng & Martin's apartment being one of the best and most comfortable places we have ever stayed in. The apartment is spotless, it is very tastefully decorated, filled with natural light, the kitchen has everything we needed to prepare meals, the bed was super comfy and the location is ideal for exploring Edinburgh on foot. Weng & Martin provided a welcome pack of breakfast & snack items, milk, and tea/coffee which was very much appreciated. Their communication before, during and after our stay was outstanding and made sure our check-in went very smoothly, and they also gave us some local updates during our stay like the Stockbridge Markets were on. We would not hesitate in recommending this apartment for a stay in Edinburgh.

Perfect
We stayed here for several days before our wedding. It felt like a very cozy safe space where we could calm our wedding jitters. The location is premium, it's in a very quiet street and yet very central. We loved popping over a few streets into Stockbridge, which ended up being one of our favorite neighborhoods. The hosts have anticipated all needs one could possibly have, the attention to each detail made us feel warm inside. We've seldomly stayed in a rental this well thought through and well designed. The decor felt very tasteful and modern. It felt like a very cool home away from home. One can feel the hosts care about the place, and in return it made us care for it as well. We would return to this rental in a heartbeat.

Response time was quick and informative. The space was comfortable and welcoming with attention to detail. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare breakfast before our days out exploring. We would definitely recommend! Thank you Martin and Weng.

The Best!
From our first communication with our hosts to our final farewell, our 5-day stay was wonderful. Great location. Took the tram from airport and walked 15 minutes to the flat. Loved the Stockbridge neighbourhood for restaurants, pubs and shops. We walked to all the city attractions which are also easily accessed by local transit or a short taxi ride away. The flat is beautiful, quiet, clean, comfortable and well equipped throughout. After long days of exploring, we always looked forward to coming home. This truly felt like home rather than just a place to stay. Thank Martin & Weng!

Absolutely Perfect
Hands down the best VRBO we have stayed at, super comfortable and clean. Above and beyond with the personalized welcome card and supplies that absolutely came in super handy after a really long day of travel. The communication with the host (Martin & Weng) was absolutely perfect. the unit is located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood but still close to everything. My favorite thing about the neighborhood is this small cheese and meat shop IJ Mellis Cheese monger. Thank you Martin & Weng.

Excellent Location and Most Comfortable Flat
This is the best designed flat I have been in. The rooms flow into each other and the design has no wasted space. Very comfortable furniture, the kitchen is easy to work in for 2 people. Over the sink you look out to a charming courtyard The owners thought of everything you could possibly need. They were great to deal with and made the stay stay easy. Location is wonderful and convenient to the historic sites. A great walking city!

Best stay ever
I have stayed in a number of properties and rented from multiple so called super hosts. This was definitely my best experience . The property is lovely . In a great historic upscale neighborhood walking distance to all of the attractions and great restaurants. The communication with the hosts was the best that I have ever had. If this apartment is booked for your travel dates and you have some flexibility , I would strongly advise you to alter your travel dates so you can experience a stay in this property.

An Elegant Retreat in Edinburgh's New Town
We spent a week in this cosy flat leading up to The Open golf tournament and could not have been more comfortable. The hosts were well organized and provided seemless check-in to the flat. They also provided thoughtful touches including a starter kit of food and drink in the kitchen. We enjoyed breakfast in the courtyard which was private and quiet. The flat is extremely convenient for getting around Edinburgh, Waverley Station, and St. Andrews. We also enjoyed exploring the Water of Leith and the elegant Stockbridge neighborhood on our return visit to Edinburgh. Highly recommended as a safe and convenient location for exploring Edinburgh.

Truly, they went above and beyond to make us feel pampered and we are so grateful to have lucked out on snagging this lovely gem of a place for our stay in Edinburgh! Thank you so very much for everything!!!!!!!!!!

Fabulous in every way!
The flat was gorgeous, decorated with lovely local flare, an artist’s eye, and charmingly comfortable. It was close enough to town for many walking experiences which allowed us to explore a great deal more on foot than expected. It was really close to several great local restaurants with that Edinburgh Flare! We especially loved stopping in for a drink at the Queen’s Arms at the end of a day, where we sampled many Scottish beverages and enjoyed the company of the locals…great craic and a warm environment that felt like we stepped back in time. The decor was very old world, yet it still had the modern bar look as well. Our hosts were wonderful!!! They were easy to get a hold of and timely. The flat was stocked beyond expectations, very generously. All in all, a brilliant week with Our hosts and the city of Edinburgh. We loved it, thank you!

The apartment was every bit as nice and comfortable as the photos and previous reviews illustrated. Perfect location, close to Stockbridge for shops and restaurants and only a few minutes walk into the busy city centre streets and to buses, trams etc. The apartment is very clean and comfortable inside and provided everything we needed as a couple for the stay. We would highly recommend and will be back for another stay sometime soon.
