About this property

Beautiful self contained flat in New Town, Stockbridge. Great location!

Self contained flat spread over two floors, a warm & welcoming home from home. Steps lead down from street level to the front door of this self contained basement/garden flat.

In an exclusive area of New Town, in the heart of Stockbridge, with the Botanical Gardens, Inverleith Park, Dean Village, the Waters of Leith & Princes Street all within easy walking distance. Sunday sees the Stockbridge market arrive with a feast of street food & local produce stalls.
There is no shortage of vintage shops, and unique boutiques for that bespoke gift.
There are restaurants & cafes to suit all tastes, with plenty of choice for vegans & people who are intolerant to certain ingredients. Also a great selection of bars that suit all tastes.

Close by there is designer shopping in the exclusive Multrees Walk, St. James Quarter and St Andrews Square area. Not far from here is the Playhouse Theatre & the Omni Theatre, with cinema & plenty of eateries. Down the road from there is the Broughton Road area, again with a great selection of restaurants, giftshops, bars & bistros.

It would take on average 10 to 15 minutes to walk up to Princes Street, however, if preferred there is a bus-stop right around the corner. The tram-stop is approx. 10 to 15 minutes walk away.

There is a great mix of hustle & bustle, yet greenery & nature right on our doorstep. Beautiful areas suitable for leisurely strolls or picturesque jogs around Dean Village, the Waters of Leith and the fantastic Inverleith Park which has an alternative viewpoint of the castle.

Unusually for Edinburgh city flats, there is a private front courtyard & a private back garden, exclusive to this property. Steps lead from the back door to the back garden.

There are two bedrooms, one double & one with twin beds. There is a beautiful freestanding bath & sink in the double bedroom which is downstairs. Additionally there is a separate shower room with toilet & a separate WC. Just what you need if there are a few staying over!

I like to think I have catered well for my guests, other than what is normally expected I supply:
1 hairdryer
1 pair of hair straighteners
Shampoo
Shower Gel
Conditioner
Hand & Body lotion
Tea
Coffee
Sugar
Porridge
Dried spices
Salt
Black pepper
Oil


A highchair & travel cot is available for infants on request.

There is a bluetooth speaker & plenty of USB Sockets so no heavy plugs to take with you, just the wires. There is WIFI throughout, plus a WIFI booster, and a Smart TV which will allow you to access Netflix, Prime etc.

Wonderful stay!
We loved our stay in Stockbridge! Such a great central location to see everything but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Dana’s place was very comfortable and spacious. It’s obvious that much love and care went into making this a special home away from home. We were sad to leave and hope to one day return and stay at Dana’s place again!

Great Flat in an Amazing Location
This flat was a great choice for our family of four. The location was perfect -- close to everything, but quiet in the evenings to relax. Incredibly clean upon arrival, the host provided helpful information to make our stay comfortable. Could not have asked for anything more!

Very convenient, and well appointed. I'd stay there again for sure. Stockbridge is a perfect quiet and cozy spot in busy Edinburgh, and the property basically sits on a bus line-- couldn't be easier!

My wife and I had a great time at this flat. It was just the two of us so walking to the main sites was not an issue. Also lots of shops and restaurants close by to the flat. Great spot, would stay again without a doubt.

This was the perfect spot for our family of 4 adults on holiday! Common areas big enough for games and eating in. We appreciated the variety and convenience of options in the neighborhood, with reasonable walking distance to sites in other parts of the city. Highly recommend!

Fantastic communication with the owner. Check in easy. Lovely apartment, a home from home. In a great location, short walk to Princes Street and on the doorstep of the lovely Stockbridge. Really loved watching the squirrels in the garden whilst eating breakfast. Another great stay. Thank you

Loved this flat!
We loved our short stay in this great flat. It was in a fantastic location, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Dana was very helpful In answering the questions we had before our stay. Just wish we'd had more time to explore all the interesting shops and restaurants in the area. It wasn't quite warm enough to sit outside in the evening but anyone staying this week should be able to enjoy that treat!

Perfect flat, perfect location
This apartment has everything - gorgeous style, cleanliness, beautifully comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen. Convenient to explore Edinburgh city centre either on foot or catch a bus (almost at the door). Cafes, restaurants and grocery store all within 5-10 minutes walk. Excellent communication from the owner who has very thoughtfully set this place up with everything you could need. The only problem was that we didn't get to spend more time at home enjoying the flat!
