Wonderful café with a lovely ‘home kitchen’ feel to it, and possibly the best link sausage rolls in the area… Patisserie Florentin is a 3 minute walk down the hill from the apartment on North West Circus Place.

The charming streets of Stockbridge are lined with independent shops, cosy cafes and pubs. With a vibrant community atmosphere and welcoming locals, you're sure to feel right at home!😊

Had a lovely evening meal at Hibiki Japanese Bistro and Restaurant on Castle Street last week, less than 5 minutes walk from the apartment. Cosy laid back surroundings with friendly staff and the food was wonderful. If you enjoy Japanese cuisine and want something close to home then check out their website for opening times and sample menus.

Tucked in the basement at 45 North Castle Street is Hibiki Japanese Bistro and Restaurant. Hibiki was inspired by our founder's love and admiration of the 'Izakaya' culture where people meet for drinks and snacks or meals after work to de-stress, relax and generally have a good time. We're passionat...

Couple of interesting photography exhibitions currently on at the City Art Centre near Waverley train station. The first by Ron O’Donnell showcases a small selection of fascinating interiors from the city in the 1970s and 1980s. The other is an exhibition of the work of pioneering women photographers and filmmakers working in Scotland in first half of the 1900s. Highly recommend a visit to these galleries, and perhaps some coffe and cake in Mimi's Bakehouse afterwards - also highly recommended!

The City of Edinburgh’s Art collection is one of the finest in Scotland, and includes works by the most important Scottish artists.

Not a photograph of Edinburgh from the last century, but one from last winter taken just outside the apartment. It’s comforting to know that some things have changed very little with the passing of time.

The Real Mary King's Close is one of Edinburgh’s most fascinating visitor experiences. Take a trip back in time as you venture down into these 17th century streets and buildings that were bricked over in the 18th century when The Royal Exchange was built on top of it. Situated on the Royal Mile it is only a 15-20 minute walk from the apartment. Having visited again at the weekend we can highly recommend this excursion.

Visit Edinburgh's only preserved 17th-century street and here the real stories of the people who lived and died here.

Our kitchen/dining room has typically large Georgian proportions and is furnished in a bright contemporary style. The dresser conceals a large smart TV and the kitchen is equipped with all you will need if you decide to do some cooking at home.

Surgeons' Hall Museums date from 1699 when they advertised they were making a collection of ‘natural and artificial curiosities’. It is Scotland’s premier medical museum and makes a fascinating alternative to some of Edinburgh’s other well known institutions. Amongst the many and varied items on display are serial killer William Burke’s (Burke and Hare) death mask and a pocket book made from his skin! The main emphasis of the Museums is surgical disease, how it was treated over previous centuries and how it is treated now.

The drawing room retains many original Georgian features and is furnished in traditional style. Recent Scottish artworks by George Birrell, James Fullarton and David Mackie Cook hang on the walls and contribute a contemporary feel. There is no television to distract, just the echoes of a room that has played host to Edinburgh residents for the last 200 years.
