Welcome to your apartment in the very heart of Edinburgh's historic Old Town, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Scotland's living history and culture await your visit where you are only minutes away from exciting and amazing discoveries around every corner. It's the perfect base from which you can explore the city and still pop home for a spot of lunch and rest your feet. Your fully modernised 71 square meter apartment is in a B-listed property built in 1788 to house the Waverley Cameron Ltd Stationery Works and has recently been redecorated to a high standard throughout. You have a well-equipped kitchen, fully tiled shower room and the pleasant and relaxing living area offers digital TV and Wi-Fi, spacious dining area and a fold-out king size sofa bed to accommodate extra guests. The two comfortable bedrooms have ample wardrobe space and the superior solid wood beds have extra deep 2000 pocket sprung mattresses and 500 thread count Egyptian cotton bedding to give you that real sense of luxury. You are assured that your every need for a restful, welcoming home is there for you during your visit wherever your wanderings may lead you.
Blair Street is perfectly situated between the iconic Royal Mile, home to such landmarks as St Giles' Cathedral, Real Mary King's Close and Parliament Square, and The Cowgate with its vibrant nightlife. A ten-minute walk along the Royal Mile in either direction will take you up to Edinburgh Castle and the Esplanade, with magnificent views across the city, or down to Holyrood Park, which houses the Scottish Parliament, The Palace of Holyrood House and Dynamic Earth, as well as rugged Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags. It is a very convenient six-minute walk from Edinburgh's mainline rail station and No 100 airport bus terminus, as well as a few minutes further from the airport tram services and the city centre's famous Princes Street. Street parking is free from 6.30pm to 8.30am and to 12:30pm on Sundays although there are several off-street car parks only minutes away.
