This beautiful apartment, securely tucked away in a ‘Close’ off the High Street section of The Royal Mile offers comfortable, private accommodation with excellent views: on the south side, from the tall shuttered casement windows, onto The Royal Mile and on the north side from the kitchen and deep set hall windows The Scott Monument and further to The Firth of Forth and beyond.
The Host, David, provides clear and concise information about accessing the property, which despite its age, is spotless inside. The tap water is a real bonus - not only safe to drink but probably the best you’ll find in the whole of the UK! Some lovely welcoming touches too; tea and coffee in the cupboard, a DAB radio, a hair-dryer and even a box of tissues. The bathroom towels were big and soft and there were some shampoos, hand and body wash too. We stayed in mid-December and although chilly outside the apartment was lovely and warm. There is plenty of information to help you plan your stay and a comprehensive ‘apartment manual’ . Be mindful of the access when deciding what to pack! The only way up is via the 69 stone spiral steps. Enjoy your stay.
