The Neighborhood:
Edinburgh's New Town is a remarkable and well-preserved urban development that stands as a testament to Georgian architecture and city planning. Located in the heart of Scotland's capital, it was constructed in the 18th century as a response to the overcrowded and unsanitary conditions of the Old Town. Designed by renowned architect James Craig, the New Town features wide, elegant streets, neoclassical buildings, and beautifully planned squares. The architecture of the New Town reflects the Enlightenment ideals of order and symmetry, with grand townhouses adorned with intricate detailing and classical facades. Princes Street, the main thoroughfare, offers stunning views of the Edinburgh Castle and the Old Town across the valley. Today, Edinburgh's New Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting visitors with its charming streets, boutique shops, and vibrant cultural scene. The area seamlessly blends historic charm with modern amenities, making it a delightful destination for both residents and tourists alike.

Getting Around:
● There is no free parking at the property. However, on-street paid parking is available.
● Abercromby Place bus stop is a short 2-minute walk from the flat.
● 12-minute walk will take you to Edinburgh Waverley Train Station.

New Town Flat

The flat was lovely, historic, and in a convenient, quiet, attractive neighborhood. It was supplied with everything we needed. My only complaint was the smell of cigarette smoke that permeated the apartment the first few days, even though it had been advertised as "Non-Smoking."

Flat in New Town

If you are at all adverse to the smell of cigarette, this is not the place to stay. I was limited to the Kitchen, Bedroom and bathroom due to the strong smell of cigarette in the living room. The door to the living room has to be kept closed. It's a shame as the pictures were accurate and the whole space would have been nice to enjoy.

Quite Simply Fabulous!

My husband and I stayed here recently for 5 days at the beginning of our 3 week tour of Scotland. The flat was beautiful and charming. It looked exactly as represented in the photos. It was very clean and nicely and comfortably furnished. Lots of natural light from all the windows. The bathroom was modern and had great water pressure and hot water. The kitchen was beautifully appointed. The WiFi access always worked and had a reasonable speed. The flat is on the ground floor so we didn’t have to carry our luggage up any steps in the building-a big plus for us. The neighborhood was quiet, clean, beautiful and safe and very walkable. A charming pub called The Wally Dug just steps from the door. A Tesco Express literally around the corner. If we wanted to Uber, we only had to wait a few minutes outside the flat before a driver would appear. The owner was extremely and quickly responsive to inquiries during our stay. This is the kind of accommodation that I would recommend to all my family and friends if they were traveling to Edinburgh. And we will definitely be returning to this amazing city and will look forward to staying here again.
