This elegant apartment in Leith is all about thoughtful details. From the welcome pack full of helpful local information to the cereal and snacks provided, and even the child-friendly amenities available for families travelling with little ones, this home ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to hospitality. The patio garden with its outdoor seating and private hot tub – complete with water features and hydrotherapy jets – is a definite highlight. And inside, board games and streaming services mean there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained. Venture outside, however, and you’ll find plenty more to keep you occupied with the waterside Shore area just minutes from your door, and the city’s most iconic sights like Calton Hill and Edinburgh Castle easily reachable by public transport or car.
