Right next to Calton Hill, this basement apartment puts you within walking distance of Edinburgh Castle and the Old Town. While it's an excellent choice for families and friends planning a city break, this home isn't suitable for infants. You'll find an open-concept living space here, plus two ample bedrooms. If you need to do some remote work, why not relax in the tub later? After exploring the Scottish capital, the small patio is a lovely nook for fresh-air hangouts.
