Brilliantly well located one bedroom property (first floor). Situated in the historic Upper Bow in Edinburgh's Old Town, and very near the Castle, this sunny and quiet property has wonderful views.
We will be in a nearby flat, and contactable directly or via email or telephone during your stay.
The part of the Royal Mile that is pedestrianized for the Festival is round the corner from the flat. And every night at the end of the Tattoo, you can watch from the window the Massed Pipe Band marching down Castlehill as they play their final piece. Edinburgh Waverley Station is a 10 minute walk away. There is a main bus route by the flat, and it is a few minutes walk to the tram and other buses on Princes Street. If you would like a taxi, we have a taxi rank on the corner outside the flat.
