Self-catering apartments with a full kitchen and official Edinburgh short-term let license

Amenities

Southside Apartments provide self-catering accommodations with a fully equipped kitchen including an oven, microwave, fridge/freezer and washing machine. Each apartment offers free WiFi and a plasma TV with Freeview channels. A starter pack with soap, washing up liquid, washing powder, rubbish bags, toilet rolls, tea, coffee and sugar is supplied on arrival.

Apartments

The apartments are available in one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom configurations, all with private bathrooms. Some apartments retain original period features such as high ceilings and sash windows. Towels, linen, hair and body shampoo are included in each unit.

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

Southside Apartments hold an official Edinburgh short-term let licence from the City of Edinburgh Council. 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.
