## Space
The location is ideal for visitors. It’s in the West End of Edinburgh, about two minutes walk from Princes Street for shopping and entertainement, and with the main train and bus stations only minutes away.
SITTING ROOM AND DINING AREA: The living room is bright and airy with a spectacular rooftop view. There are two large comfortable sofas, a TV and a large dining table with chairs. Good wi-fi access is available throughout the flat. There’s a glimpse of the Edinburgh castle, and it’s a great place to watch the Fireworks during the Edinburgh Festival and the New Year celebrations!
BEDROOM: There’s a comfortable queen-size bed and ample storage available. Our cleaners place fresh, hotel quality linen and towels on your bed prior to arrival.
BATHROOMS: There’s a SHOWER ROOM with a WC, and a separate WC. We supply hand soap, shower gel and shampoo and conditioner for our guests. There’s an iron, an ironing board and a hair dryer.

## Neighborhood
LOCAL SHOPS: Nearly everything you’re likely to want is available within minutes of the front door, in Shandwick Place, Queensferry Street, Stafford Street and William Street. There are two supermarkets, a pharmacy, two health food shops, a stationers and several very trendy clothes shops. And more!
LOCAL EATERIES: You’re spoilt for choice, even within easy walking distance. From simple takeaways like Prêt-á-Manger, to reliable pizza places like Pizza Express, to more fashionable places like Home at Maison Bleu and the Escargot Blanc, to the three pubs in William Street, there are really so many.
## Transit
If you’re arriving from the Airport, you can take the Airport Express Bus or the Tram. Both come directly into the City Centre. Get off at the West End. You will find yourselves in Shandwick Place, which is parallel to Alva Street. It’s a 2 minute walk to the flat from there, via Stafford Street.
If you’re arriving at Waverley railway station, a 22 bus will take you along Princes Street to the West End. Alva Street is immediately behind Shandwick Place.
If you’re coming from Haymarket railway station, any bus heading east will take you to Shandwick Place. We’re just around the corner.
In either case, it’s only about a 15 minute walk from the stations.
The two main bus companies are Lothian Buses and First Buses. Both have websites and handy apps. We’ve added a bit more detail below to help you get around once you’ve arrived.
TRANSPORT
Our flat is ideally placed as a starting point for everywhere in Edinburgh, and the two train stations close by are perfect for setting off to other parts of Scotland.
TAXIS:
There’s a taxi rank just at the other end of Alva Street, on the other side of the road on Queensferry Street. (In case you’re unsure, a 10% tip ensures your cabbie will stay happy and helpful.)
BUSES: Shandwick Place, which is the main street immediately south of and parallel to Alva Street has bus connections to almost every single place in the city, including the airport. The tram stop is just there, too. There’s a bus/tram map on the shelf in the sitting room.
TRAINS: The main railway station for Edinburgh is Waverley. It’s a short bus ride away at the other (eastern) end of Princes Street. There’s also Haymarket station, which is an even shorter ride (or a ten minute walk) westwards from Shandwick Place.
## Notes
Please note, there is no lift in the property and the flat is on the top floor, so consider this if you have any disability or a very heavy luggage.
This apartment is located in Haymarket, a neighborhood in Edinburgh. Edinburgh Castle and Royal Mile are notable landmarks and Edinburgh Zoo is a popular area attraction. Camera Obscura and World of Illusions and Royal Botanic Garden are also worth visiting.
