Luxury apartment with free parking in the 4th coolest neighbourhood in the world

This fabulous apartment is set in the heart of Leith, voted the 4th coolest neighbourhood in the World (TimeOut 2021).
Leith is awash with fabulous restaurants for every taste and budget with 2 of the 3 Edinburgh Michelin Star restaurants a 10 min walk away.
The apartment is perfectly located for all main tourist attractions with The Royal Yacht and Princes St a 20 min walk away, with the Old Town just beyond.
This neighbourhood has a cool cafe culture vibe and is a must visit!

The apartment has been fully renovated in 2022 so everything is brand new (with the exception of some lovely antiques). All the beds have new mattresses to give you a great night's sleep. Including the 2 pull out single beds that are available for parties of more than 6.

Living/Dining/Kitchen

This is a massive space over 11mt x 5mt and is fully equipped with everything you need.
It is lit by some quirky antique lights which are complimented by some modern recess soft lighting.
The kitchen has everything you need should you want to eat in (although there are so many amazing places to eat in the area you may not need this!).

Master Bedroom

This huge room has a super king bed you can get lost in and also a spare pull-out single bed to make this a family room. It is decorated with lush velvets and sumptuous furnishing to help you really enjoy this special space.

Twin Bedroom

This cosy room has 2 single beds and a further spare pull-out single for families. It has some fabulous art work and up-cycled antique furniture.

King Bedroom

The rich red walls give this room a very Royal feel especially with the two fabulous seats. The giant chandelier also makes this room feel super luxury.

Bathroom

Fitted with a luxury claw foot bath and decorated with Italian prints and antique candelabra to ensure you have an indulgent soak in the deep tub.

Shower Room

The rain shower in this space has great water pressure to ensure you have a great start (or end) to your day.

Toilet

Sperate to the bathing rooms to make sure no one interrupts you!

Hall

Luxurious tartan carpet adds toe the very Scottish Castle feel of this apartment. The antique bookcase has plenty of books and games to keep you occupied.

Perfect location for an unhappy occasion
This was the perfect place for our group of 8 on the unhappy occasion of a family funeral. The family grew up just one street over, were my in-laws spent over 60 years of their lives together before moving away to the west coast 4 years ago. The neighborhood brought back all the nostalia for my husband and his siblings and especially my mother-in-law. It was great walking through the neighborhood and visiting some of the same shops and restaurants they had visited as children & teens. The flat itself was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. I couldn't believe how spacious it was, it slept all 8 of us comfortably with the 2 pull-out/trundle beds and having 2 showers made getting ready for the funeral in the morning very easy. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to have a couple family meals. Overnight street parking right in front was free from 530pm to 830am, Free daytime parking at the hosts warehouse was available within a short walk. I was weary at first as this was our first time using a VRBO rental and there was a couple of negative reviews but after reading the negatives, I realized that it was most likely people who are unfamiliar with the area and/or Scotland in general because the complaints were about things I find to be pretty standard in Scotland (as an American who has visited often due to visiting family). shower controls are different, older buildings are not always handicap accesible, the city can be noisy and there is usually graffiti.

Average accomodations
We had a party of 6 (my husband, myself, our 3 kids 15, 19, & 21, and my elderly mom). There was no sleeper sofa available so one of my kids had to sleep on the couch. Temperature inside was not comfortable, we had to use fans because windows won't open. Very dirty outside around the grounds. Listing was t accurate either.

Good location for exploring Edinburgh
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely apartment. The apartment was convenient and in walking distance of sights we wanted to see. Although there was parking provided, we chose not to use it due to the location and returned our rental car early - would recommend no car if possible during your stay.

Less than we expected
The apartment was a good size for our group of six however, there were some drawbacks. There was no kitchen roll, no cleaning products in the kitchen, no laundry detergent, a broken sink in the shower room, and an incomplete plumbing set in the room with the bathtub, so that water would shoot to the ceiling when one of the valves was opened. The listing was a little deceptive because it said there was a dryer and there was only a clothes drying rack. In Scotland, it takes at least two days for clothes to dry, which was a big drawback for a family with small children. The neighborhood was not very nice, there was graffiti and rubbish everywhere. In the evenings, there were drunk people wandering the streets yelling at flower beds. For the cost of this apartment, we definitely did not get value for money. The apartment was run down and missing basic equipment and the area was terrible. We would not stay here again.

Fantastic! you won't be disappointed.....
This apartment was great. It looks exactly as the pictures show. We were a party of 7, we were all happy and comfortable. The location is great with a tram very close by. The kitchen was functionable with all the things you need to feed your family. 2 supermarkets just up the block. This place is a gem. If you book it you are winning. Host was great and very responsive.

Cannot recommend. Think twice before booking
The property was booked with a parking space that did not exist. An unresponsive host. The beds were not ready, as agreed, there wasn't enough bedding. Ended up with mattress on the floor, instead of beds. We had a parking fine because the parking permit didn't exist plus costs for additional parking. 2 guests had limited mobility. Never again with this property. Never again with VRBO

Leith Visit
This is a nice apartment in a great location. It is a 2 minute walk from the tram station which connects you right to the airport, the old downtown, or the shore - that was fantastically helpful. It has great restaurants within walking distance (La Casa and Antoinetta are both outstanding), as well as good take-away and bakery/coffee shops. There is a grocery less than a minute walk away. Downside, the apartment only has one toilet and the plumbing to the shower/tub required some serious voo doo to figure out. We had six adults staying (two of us in precarious twin beds) and would not recommend trying to squeeze in more. The neighborhood is noisy at night, all week long.
