Holiday rental: 2 bed Apartment in Edinburgh Lothian Scotland, for rent short term

An Seòmar Buidhe

Just over a twenty-minute walk from the heart and soul of the Old Town – Edinburgh Castle – the New Town has quite a different vibe. You’ll find Georgian architecture nearly everywhere you turn, and historic tenement buildings lining the streets as you head towards Canonmills. While these stone structures might look similar from the outside, we can guarantee you'll find eclectic homes within. This flat is no exception. The owner is a local artist, whose creative interior design choices are evident throughout. You’ll find her charming, abstract artwork on display in various rooms, as well as brightly-coloured walls, quirky tablecloth prints, antique furniture, and unique lamps on ornate cabinets. Our favourite spot has to be the lounge – this yellow room is full of character and old-world charm. Light up the fire and gather everyone round for a board game on a rainy day in this sumptuous space. Or at dusk, it could equally serve as a plush pad for an impromptu whisky-tasting session. While you sip on single malts, have the host arrange for a private chef to come over and handle dinner. You are on holiday after all.
*This home is in an old tenement, so it doesn't have its own private entrance and you'll need to climb some stairs
*One double bedroom comes complete with a travel cot, if you're here with the little ones
*There's a washing machine but no tumble dryer – your host provides a clothes horse instead
*Your host can help with restaurant and activity recommendations for free, but for a fee, they can also organise private tours, airport pickup, fridge fills, a private chef, and more
*There are plenty of laptop-friendly workspaces, including one of two dining tables
*While no parking is available, you can pay to park nearby, or make use of excellent transport links
