Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This no-frills apartment is in an excellent location, just a five-minute walk from the Meadows. From Old Town to Arthur's Seat, you can get out and explore Edinburgh with ease. It’s situated on the ground floor of a former printworks. Although the pad isn't the most stylish, it sure is cosy. Everyone can relax together in the open-plan living area, and the kitchen has everything you need to whip up a meal. And, if requested in advance, the hosts will be glad to accommodate two children under 10 years old on a sofa bed, making this a great fit for families.
