Upon the Mile

Upon the Mile: City of Edinburgh

What this Old Town studio lacks in space, it more than makes up for in location. Situated directly across from The National Museum of Scotland, only minutes from The Royal Mile, you're in the heart of Edinburgh's most historic neighbourhood here. History buffs will love climbing to the top of Edinburgh Castle (a ten-minute stroll), fashionistas can shop 'till they drop on Princes St (ten minutes on foot), while ramblers can enjoy a stroll through Salisbury Crags (walkable in half an hour). With cosy cafes, lively pubs, independent shops and mouthwatering eateries all on your doorstep, as far as locales go, you can't do much better.

Back at home, kick off your shoes and get comfortable in the light-filled living space. Inspired by refined Scandinavian style, the entire apartment is minimal, uncluttered and laid-back. Admire the museum views from the huge windows whilst sipping on local whiskey, then settle down for a chilled movie night on the sofa – the smart TV has plenty of streaming options. The bathroom is super sleek, with its underfloor heating and lavish rainfall shower, and the sumptuous bed will be calling your name after a long afternoon exploring. We think solo travellers or couples wanting a city break will love calling this flat home.

Home truths:
*There is a bar nearby so there is potential for noise (particularly at the weekend) – your host can provide eye masks and ear plugs *The smart TV has access to streaming platforms like Netflix and Prime, but guests will have to use their own accounts *This apartment is located on the first floor – guests will have to climb one flight of stairs *Please respect the neighbours and keep noise to a minimum between 9pm and 9am *Edinburgh is best explored on foot as parking can be tricky to find – we suggest leaving the car behind *This flat is in an apartment building so there's no private entrance – however, guests will be able to self check-in on arrival *The dining table can double as a laptop-friendly workspace
