Amenities

Location
The Royal Mile is an 18-minute walk from the apartments, and Edinburgh Castle can be reached in 15 to 20 minutes on foot. Holyrood Park is just 10 minutes away, making it easy to walk to Arthur's Seat. A bus stop is located directly outside the building, providing quick access to the city centre.
Licensing & Safety

This licence confirms the property meets planning, health and safety, insurance and other general conditions required by the council. 24-hour security, fire extinguishers, smoke alarms and key access are in place for guest safety.
Additional Services
Check-in instructions are sent in advance with a door code, allowing guests to access the apartment at their convenience. There is no on-site parking, but the frequent bus route and walking distance to major attractions compensate for this. Management can be contacted for early luggage drop-off on request.
