Delightful city-centre maindoor flat - bright and sunny with private courtyard

You'll be in Edinburgh's most splendid Georgian location amidst this UNESCO World Heritage site. Here the grand façade is arranged around a lavish circular garden, with restricted road access affording it a surreal sense of calm and silence - perhaps best appreciated after dark under the New Town's atmospheric white street lights.
Despite the peace, bohemian Stockbridge is a delightful 5 minute walk along cobbled streets, whilst George Street's high-end shops and venues are similarly close by to the south.
Accessed via a private gate down a short stone staircase, the front door can be found opening onto a sunny but sheltered courtyard which is a magical spot for al-fresco breakfasting or evening drinks. Once inside the open-plan layout is clean, comfortable and fully-equipped for your stay, with enough period features (high skirting boards and working shutters) to remind you where you are.

This is a gem property in the heart of Edinburgh’s hip Stockbridge area. Fantastic restaurants and friendly local pubs are within walking distance. Martin and Weng are excellent hosts, adding that “extra touch” of thoughtfulness for a warm and comfortable stay.

Didn’t want to leave!

Everything about this place is amazing—the location is great, the flat itself is cozy, and the hosts are so kind! We were able to walk from the tram station, which made transport from the airport easy, and the area felt safe as well. The hosts were very responsive and provided us with everything we needed, from check-in info ahead of time to snacks and drinks when we got there! Cannot recommend this flat enough and would stay again in a heartbeat!

Excellent Location and Most Comfortable Flat

This is the best designed flat I have been in. The rooms flow into each other and the design has no wasted space. Very comfortable furniture, the kitchen is easy to work in for 2 people. Over the sink you look out to a charming courtyard The owners thought of everything you could possibly need. They were great to deal with and made the stay stay easy. Location is wonderful and convenient to the historic sites. A great walking city!

The only reason we gave the flat a 5 star rating is because Vrbo doesn’t allow you to go any higher! The flat is absolutely stunning and perfectly manicured. It is located in the most desirable part of Edinburgh. You are walking distance from Old and New Town, along with desirable areas such as Stockbridge. Also, the hosts (Martain & Weng) have detailed instructions about every aspect of the flat. They also made themselves available to answer any questions we had. If that isn’t enough, we were welcomed with a thoughtful gift basket of goodies from them to enjoy during our stay. I can’t recommend this flat enough. 11/10 rating and this is the only place we will stay when we come back.

What an amazing cozy place to stay in Edinburgh! Everything was top notch and welcoming. Martin and Weng are excellent hosts who really helped us with anything we needed. Response time was quick and informative. The space was comfortable and welcoming with attention to detail. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare breakfast before our days out exploring.

The Best!

From our first communication with our hosts to our final farewell, our 5-day stay was wonderful. Great location. Took the tram from airport and walked 15 minutes to the flat. Loved the Stockbridge neighbourhood for restaurants, pubs and shops. We walked to all the city attractions which are also easily accessed by local transit or a short taxi ride away. The flat is beautiful, quiet, clean, comfortable and well equipped throughout. After long days of exploring, we always looked forward to coming home. This truly felt like home rather than just a place to stay. Thank Martin & Weng!

Absolutely Perfect

Hands down the best VRBO we have stayed at, super comfortable and clean. Above and beyond with the personalized welcome card and supplies that absolutely came in super handy after a really long day of travel. The communication with the host (Martin & Weng) was absolutely perfect. the unit is located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood but still close to everything. My favorite thing about the neighborhood is this small cheese and meat shop IJ Mellis Cheese monger. Thank you Martin & Weng.

Perfect

We stayed here for several days before our wedding. It felt like a very cozy safe space where we could calm our wedding jitters. The location is premium, it's in a very quiet street and yet very central. We loved popping over a few streets into Stockbridge, which ended up being one of our favorite neighborhoods. The hosts have anticipated all needs one could possibly have, the attention to each detail made us feel warm inside. We've seldomly stayed in a rental this well thought through and well designed. The decor felt very tasteful and modern. It felt like a very cool home away from home. One can feel the hosts care about the place, and in return it made us care for it as well. We would return to this rental in a heartbeat.

Best stay ever

I have stayed in a number of properties and rented from multiple so called super hosts. This was definitely my best experience . The property is lovely . In a great historic upscale neighborhood walking distance to all of the attractions and great restaurants. The communication with the hosts was the best that I have ever had. If this apartment is booked for your travel dates and you have some flexibility , I would strongly advise you to alter your travel dates so you can experience a stay in this property.

Excellent place to stay

We spent a week in this lovely apartment when we came to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival. The location is wonderful. Even though it’s a bit of a walk to some of the fringe venues, it was really nice to come back to such a beautiful, quiet part of the city. The neighborhood of Stockbridge a few minutes walk down the hill was full of nice shops and places to eat. The apartment itself is just lovely. The huge windows make it very bright and yet you never feel overlooked by people walking by. The furniture is stylish and comfortable and the kitchen fully equipped for cooking. The owners were very responsive and flexible as regards our arrival and departure schedule. If we come back to Edinburgh we will definitely book this apartment again.
