Third floor apartment
sleeping 4.

This bright spacious apartment really is in the very centre of Edinburgh. Situated in the the middle part of the Royal Mile, the part known as the High Street, it is just a few yards down from St Giles Cathedral. The Royal Mile which runs between Holyrood Palace and Edinburgh Castle is fascinating all year round and is further enhanced during the Festival and at Christmas and New Year with a variety of activities and street events - all taking place just beneath the apartment windows. Bars, restaurants and cafés, newsagents, grocery shops and tourist information are all on your doorstep. And almost everything else in Edinburgh is accessible on foot.

You can see 166 High Street's windows in the middle of the photograph, above right. The apartment is on the third floor (US: 4th floor).

The owners, husband and wife team Gordon Forrest and Leni Rademachar, are likely to greet you on your arrival in Edinburgh (off the bus/train/) at almost no matter what time you arrive. They keep their apartment at a high standard and are most helpful and welcoming.
