About

Quirky, West End, Edinburgh House

This one-bedroom apartment sits on Lansdowne Crescent in Edinburgh's West End, a 5-minute walk from Saint Mary's Cathedral and close to Haymarket station. The area is quiet, yet well placed for exploring the city on foot.

The interior is deliberately quirky, with an old-style decor and a sense of history that guests repeatedly mention. The flat is larger than expected for its size, with comfortable beds that can be separated, and a well-equipped kitchen. It's a practical base for a longer stay.
