The Edinburgh Rooftop Terrace

4 Guests ▪ 2 Bedrooms ▪ 3 Beds ▪ 1 Bath

This stunning central Edinburgh apartment is one of the city's most unique apartments with unrivalled views of Edinburgh Castle on your own private South facing terrace.

This is THE place to stay in Edinburgh! It was newly remodeled and beyond comfortable with everything you could possibly need. This flat had killer views of Edinburgh castle and was literally a skip away from tons of great pubs and restaurants. I cannot wait to come back and if this fabulous place isn’t booked up, it will be my go to!" Julia - June 2021

"Absolutely loved our time at this property. The apartment is better than the pictures and is perfectly located. The living area is modern and allows you chill when you want a break from seeing the city. Lloyd made us feel welcome and we knew he was only a message away. Definitely looking at booking this place again the next time we visit Edinburgh" Thomas - July 2021

The apartment is in a fabulous central location, a stones throw from Princes Street and George Street. You are in the most central Edinburgh location with all of Edinburgh's best restaurants, cafes and bars right on your doorstep. This apartment is one of the only flats in central Edinburgh with a private terrace, boasting perfect views of Edinburgh Castle. The terrace is south facing which sees the sun all day, perfect for those days where you want to soak up the sun after seeing the sights of Edinburgh.

During the festival and Hogmanay, you are right at the heart of all the action. All of Edinburgh's best festival spots are within meters of your doorstep and the views of the Edinburgh Castle fireworks display are unrivalled. The apartment is accessed on Rose Street.

A stunning apartment with the most gorgeous terrace which looks over to Edinburgh castle just two streets over. The view of the castle is amazing lite up for Christmas so having this view was awesome. Location is just the best, close to pretty much anything you would need, restaurants, shops, stores, pubs, attractions, tram links… 2 streets up from where the Xmas markets are. The apartment itself was beautiful and very impressive, modern kitchen, gorgeous bathroom, two good sized modern bedrooms, and the upstairs lounge is a show stopper!!! Just awesome!!

We had the most wonderful stay at Lloyd’s place! The location was perfect for being able to walk everywhere and Lloyd was so accommodating allowing us to drop our bags off before check-in. We would recommend this place to anyone!We had the most wonderful stay at Lloyd’s place!

My family had a great stay at Samantha’s. We were in town for track state championships and it was nice to have a quiet place to come back to and relax after a long day. Everything was comfortable and we wished we would have had more time to spend there to enjoy the space.

Loved this stay, great location to everywhere we wanted to go and comfortable space to hang out in the evening and watch a movie. Loved having breakfast out on the terrace. The stairs to the apartment itself were a bit hard to get our large suitcases up/down and the steps were not level (dipped from wear and age). One of our party has a bit of a fear of heights but they managed.

Samantha’s place was incredible. Walking distance to the beautiful nature preserve. Very comfortable and felt right at home when we got there. It is peaceful and has a nice flow. Loved hearing the birds in the day and owls at night. Wonderful soaking tub! She is a wonderful host and we would definitely stay there again. Thank you!

This is such a charming Airbnb in a very central location in Edinburgh! We loved the living room/loft area with the view of Edinburgh castle and everything was very clean. Lloyd was extremely responsive and flexible when we wanted to check in early and even provided a recommendation for where to store our luggage when we had to check out.

Lloyd's place was an excellent base for us visiting Edinburgh for the weekend. The apartment was clean, warm and cozy. The view of the castle was amazing! The Christmas tree was a lovely touch, making the weekend even more magical. Lloyd is a great host and was very responsive. We definitely recommend this apartment and would stay here again.

Lloyd, Hazel, and Alan went above and beyond to help us get set up for our trip to Scotland. We were renting a car and wanted to buy a car seat that our family could take down to England to give to another family member for their little one to use. We needed to get it delivered and they graciously offered to have it delivered to them before we arrived, and they took it to the apartment for us for our arrival. The rooms were clean and well set up, the kitchen was spacious, the patio had an incredible view of the castle. It was a great spot to easily walk right into the thick of things. My only note for other people with any mobility issues at all is that it is up 4 flights of very steep, old, and partially worn away stairs (as is the nature of beautiful ancient cities) and it is above a very loud pub if you have any light sleepers (as is much of Edinburgh generally). Thank you so much Lloyd, Hazel, and Alan!
