About the location

Located right at the west end with Edinburghs main street Princes Street a pleasant 10 minute walk away this apartment is in a great location. Whether arriving by train plane or automobile it is all so easy at this location. Haymarket train station is a 2 minute walk, there is a taxi rank at the station as well as the airport shuttle bus stop. At the Haymarket junction which again is a 2 minute walk you can get a bus pretty much anywhere in the city or you may choose to drive either with your own car which you will be given a car park pass for or there is a car rental place on nearby Haymarket terrace. We always say to guests that you don’t really need a car once you are here unless you are going on day trips out of the city. With Princes Street a 10 minute walk there is plenty to do but if you don’t even want to go that far there are lots of restaurants and shops beside the apartment. Omar Khayam, one of Edinburghs best Indian restaurants is a 2 minute walk and even closer are a couple of sushi bars, Thai, Nepalese, Italian, Scottish – basically loads of options. How about salsa lessons and a mojito at Cuba Norte on nearby Morrison Street (3 minutes walk). Laserquest is about 30 doors away so you can spend an hour blasting your travelling companions with lasers. Maybe that’s not your thing and you would prefer the dramatic architecture of St Marys cathedral which is a 4 minute walk and from there you can go a little further to the Dean Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art. You might even want to join the water of leith walkway for a gentle amble along this dramatic riverside setting. The EICC conference centre is only a 4 minute walk and this apartment is absolutely ideal for delegates attending conferences and who want to avoid hotel prices. From the conference centre the old town is just beyond and lots of our guests wander up to the Grassmarket where you will find the occasional markets and shows depending on season. For the shopaholics you might want to stop at the clothes boutiques in and around William Street on your way to Princes Street. Whatever you choose to do during your stay you will find this apartment is in a great location making your stay easy to get to, easy to find, easy to get to the rest of the city from and a true home from home.

About the apartment

You will arrive in Edinburgh and locate our apartment from the detailed arrival instructions we have sent to you. You will be met at our apartment by a member of staff and if you have arrived by car and have requested a car parking card they will show you where the car park is. This apartment is on the first floor and shares the stair with only one other apartment (another one of our holiday apartments). As you enter the apartment you will find the hallway opening into the open plan lounge/dining and kitchen area where you will find a welcome basket with a selection of Scottish biscuits and a bottle of sparkling mineral water. There is also tea, coffee and sugar as well as a pint of milk in the fridge for you so you once our member of staff has showed you around the apartment you can just put your feet up and relax before deciding what to do during your stay.


You can sink into the comfy settees in the lounge and catch up on events on the 42” plasma screen TV – every taste is catered for with Sky sports for the guys, Sky movies for the girls or if you are a family you might appreciate the Sky kids pack. If you have brought your laptop you will be able to use the free and unlimited wi fi broadband to surf the web or maybe you would just prefer to relax with some music from the cd player which has an MP3 jack and can be piped into the bedrooms as well as the main lounge area. The lights are dimmable so you can create a warm and relaxing atmosphere with full control over the gas central heating system. The apartment was fully insulated a few years ago so in winter it is nice and warm and in summer it is nice and cool. As extra back up you will find desk fans in the unlikely event that the Scottish summer is too hot and blow heaters to supplement the central heating although we don’t think anyone has ever used them.


The dining area links the lounge and kitchen areas and you will find a dining table that comfortably seats 6 people. Your guests can watch as you prepare the greatest of dinners from our fully equipped kitchen. There is a fridge, electric oven, electric ceramic hob (fast heat), washing machine and the all important dishwasher because you don’t want spend your holiday doing dishes. There is a separate drier in the common hallway for all guests to use if you have a lot of washing (we have kids too so know sometimes one machine isn’t enough). There is a great supply of cutlery, crockery, Jamie Oliver pans, utensils and one of our guests commented “hey what happened to the push button espresso machine – a joke – totally a joke – this apartment provided everything we could have asked for and more”. In fact if there is a cooking item that we don’t have then just let us know and we will go and get it. We even have a spice wheel with loads of spices on hand. For your ingredients there is a supermarket within 200 metres or a convenience store right across the road. Hey there is even a Thai supermarket a few doors up so lots to choose from.


A good nights rest is assured in our bedrooms with our orthopaedic mattresses, cool Egyptian cotton bedding and double glazing to keep any outside noise to a minimum. Each bedroom has a built in wardrobe meaning there is lots of space for even the most demanding fashionista. You will also find an ironing board, iron and hairdryer in each room so you don’t have to wait for others to get ready. The main bedroom is set up as a standard double and the other 2 bedrooms are set up as twin rooms.


Something very important but that you may not have thought about is having more than one bathroom when sharing an apartment between six people. This apartment has a main bathroom as well as an additional shower room. The main bathroom has a bath, over bath Mira 9.5 kw shower, w.c and wash hand basin as well as a shaver point. The shower room has a power shower with 1400mm shower tray (larger than normal) as well as a w.c and wash hand basin. If required this shower room can actually be used as an ensuite as it can be closed off from the main lounge area.


Throughout the apartment you will find high quality finishes with solid walnut flooring, 100% wool carpets, stainless steel appliances etc etc.


In summary this apartment has been designed for guests who want to be able to get here easily, have all the comforts of home but also to know that they can get out and around Edinburgh very easily and also have everything that they need for everyday living right on their doorstep.


As a rough guide check in is 4pm but if you are arriving between 11am and 4pm we can take your bags in the apartment, give you a set of keys and let you explore Edinburgh whilst the apartment is cleaned. That will save you having to haul bags around until you can check in. If you are arriving after 9pm there is a £30 charge to cover the costs of us sending out our move in company after hours. We can monitor flights on the BAA website so you don’t need to worry if your flight is delayed if you have told us your flight number. You will be given full contact details including a mobile number for the member of staff who will be meeting you at the apartment. We will also request a mobile number from you that you will have with you when you travel so we can keep in touch.


Payments

You will initially pay 25% deposit when you book to reserve the apartment. We will then request the balance around 6 weeks before arrival which can be paid by credit card or Paypal. For bookings made less than 6 weeks in advance the full amount will be due and in really late bookings from a couple of days before arrival we can either take credit card payments or cash on arrival. In all cases a £300 security deposit will be held to cover any damages or loss of keys etc which is usually by credit card or cheque. This will be returned in full if the apartment is returned to us in a tidy state with all keys (in 5 years of welcoming guests at this apartment we have yet to make a security deduction).

Stag nights/hen nights

Please note we do not accept hen or stag parties at this property.

Smoking

Please also note this is a no smoking apartment and a deduction will be made from the deposit if we need to have curtains or furnishings dry cleaned to eliminate tobacco odours.

Pets

For the comfort of all guests we do not accept pets at this property.
