About this property
Grassmarket apartment with views to Edinburgh Castle - two bedrooms
Situated in the heart of the Old Town the Grassmarket area changes with the differing hours of the days. From cosmopolitan cafe dining to a more lively night life area you will never be too far away from the action and places of interest to visit. All major tourist attractions within easy walking distance.
The apartment is on the third floor (top) and is cosy and warm. We do not accept stag/hen nights or large groups of party guests.

Good views from the rear bedroom up to Edinburgh Castle. Good views to the front over the activity space normally used for Street shoes to the front.
Lovely tastefully done up flat inside.

About the host
Hosted by Derek Gibb
Pillowstops is run my husband and wife team Catherine and Derek Gibb.
"As a family we have used self catering properties around the world for our own holidays and know how important it is to make sure that when you arrive you are not disappointed with your choice of holiday accommodation. The two main areas of disappointment that we have found are location and standard!
The apartments that we offer are situated in Edinburgh's no 1 historic tourist street and area being the Royal Mile and Grassmarket. Our apartments are maintained and cleaned to a very high standard exactly as we would want to find ourselves when going on holiday.
You maybe interested in on of our other apartments at Lawnmarket, Advocates Close (overlooking High Street) and 166 High Street.
We look forward to welcoming you to Edinburgh.
