About this property

A charming one-bed apartment in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. Sleeps 4.

  • Sit back and relax in The Portsburgh Square Residence. Tucked just behind the Grassmarket in the Old Town, this one-bedroom apartment enjoys an enviable location, but with all of the peace and quiet of an off-street setting.

    The lovely and light living/kitchen area features a flatscreen TV and unlimited Wi-Fi. The kitchenette comes fully equipped with everything you need for a few days in Edinburgh, including a microwave and fridge. The cosy master bedroom offers a double bed and guest storage. A family bathroom with shower over bath completes this delightful home from home.

    Please note we do not provide hypoallergenic bedding at our properties.

    The Portsburgh Square Residence’s location is simply the best! Sitting on the edge of the Grassmarket and just a few minutes’ stroll from the Royal Mile, the local area is brimming with history and things to do. Whether you’d like to browse the varied boutiques on Cockburn Street or have a good old fashioned pub lunch while you gaze up at the Castle, this property has it all. The apartment itself is a grade C listed building, which occupies an ancient site within the World Heritage Trust area of Edinburgh's Old Town.

    Princes Street is a mere 10 minute stroll away, and the Royal Mile is even closer.
