Located in Edinburgh’s New Town, this apartment is an ideal base for those keen to stay in the heart of the city. Restaurants, cafes and bars are on the doorstep, and you’re no more than a fifteen-minute walk from Princess Street and the Royal Mile. The sash windows let in plenty of natural light, and the kitchen has everything you need for rustling up a full Scottish breakfast. Just so you’re aware, the third bedroom is on the smaller side, so it may be better suited for children.

About Hillside
Edinburgh is a city built around seven hills, but Hillside is not as steep as the name suggests.
