Two-Bedroom Split-Level Apartment on Edinburgh's Royal Mile

Accommodation

The apartment offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms arranged over two floors, giving each guest their own space. The living room contains a sofa and a dining area, while the fully equipped kitchenette includes a dishwasher, microwave, and washing machine. Guests have access to Netflix and Prime Video on the TV, and the host provides basics such as tea, coffee, condiments, and detergent.

Location

The apartment sits on Advocates Close, a historic lane just off the Royal Mile in Edinburgh's Old Town. The Real Mary King's Close is steps away, and Camera Obscura & World of Illusions is a 4-minute walk. Edinburgh Waverley station is reachable in 5 minutes, Edinburgh Castle in 13 minutes, and the National Museum of Scotland is 500 metres away.

Views & Setting

From the bedroom window, guests see Princes Street, the Scott Monument, and the seasonal Christmas market Star Flyer. The apartment is located within a historic close, offering a medieval atmosphere from the outside while the interior is equipped with modern appliances. The property is soundproofed to reduce street noise, though earplugs are recommended for late-night revelers on the close.

Host & Services

Host Ivy provides detailed check-in instructions with photos and allows early luggage drop-off when requested. Communication is handled via message, with rapid responses reported by multiple guests. The host also supplies a welcome pack of tea, coffee, honey, sauces, and jam.

“The location is exceptional, placing you at the heart of central Edinburgh with immediate access to key landmarks; this historic exterior hides a surprisingly modern and comfortable interior. While the steps are an initial challenge, the well-appointed, clean space and the host's truly helpful, responsive nature make the ascent entirely worthwhile. Thoughtful touches and a fantastic power shower add to the considerable comfort here, even in freezing weather.”
