Delightful city-centre maindoor flat - bright and sunny with private courtyard
You'll be in Edinburgh's most splendid Georgian location amidst this UNESCO World Heritage site. Here the grand façade is arranged around a lavish circular garden, with restricted road access affording it a surreal sense of calm and silence - perhaps best appreciated after dark under the New Town's atmospheric white street lights. Despite the peace, bohemian Stockbridge is a delightful 5 minute walk along cobbled streets, whilst George Street's high-end shops and venues are similarly close by to the south. Accessed via a private gate down a short stone staircase, the front door can be found opening onto a sunny but sheltered courtyard which is a magical spot for al-fresco breakfasting or evening drinks. Once inside the open-plan layout is clean, comfortable and fully-equipped for your stay, with enough period features (high skirting boards and working shutters) to remind you where you are.

The apartment was perfect for our needs. Beautifully set out, very well curated and a pleasure to come back to after a day of exploring. Some lovely treats awaited us on arrival which we really appreciated. A greatLocation for the city and our favourite place, Stockbridge. We really recommend a stay here. Thanks!
Everything about this place is amazing—the location is great, the flat itself is cozy, and the hosts are so kind! We were able to walk from the tram station, which made transport from the airport easy, and the area felt safe as well. The hosts were very responsive and provided us with everything we needed, from check-in info ahead of time to snacks and drinks when we got there! Cannot recommend this flat enough and would stay again in a heartbeat!
We stayed here for several days before our wedding. It felt like a very cozy safe space where we could calm our wedding jitters. The location is premium, it's in a very quiet street and yet very central. We loved popping over a few streets into Stockbridge, which ended up being one of our favorite neighborhoods. The hosts have anticipated all needs one could possibly have, the attention to each detail made us feel warm inside. We've seldomly stayed in a rental this well thought through and well designed. The decor felt very tasteful and modern. It felt like a very cool home away from home. One can feel the hosts care about the place, and in return it made us care for it as well. We would return to this rental in a heartbeat.
What an amazing cozy place to stay in Edinburgh! Everything was top notch and welcoming. Martin and Weng are excellent hosts who really helped us with anything we needed. Response time was quick and informative. The space was comfortable and welcoming with attention to detail. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare breakfast before our days out exploring. We would definitely recommend! Thank you Martin and Weng.

Home from home so many extra thoughtful touches that made for a perfect stay
From our first communication with our hosts to our final farewell, our 5-day stay was wonderful. Great location. Took the tram from airport and walked 15 minutes to the flat. Loved the Stockbridge neighbourhood for restaurants, pubs and shops. We walked to all the city attractions which are also easily accessed by local transit or a short taxi ride away. The flat is beautiful, quiet, clean, comfortable and well equipped throughout. After long days of exploring, we always looked forward to coming home. This truly felt like home rather than just a place to stay. Thank Martin & Weng!
Moray Place was delightful for our first visit to Edinburgh. Perfect location, excellent accommodations and thoughtful correspondence with owners. Thank you!
Good location, safe area.
A lot of amenities, kitchen very well equipped, basic produces provided.
Well designed, installations in very good condition.
Easy communication with host.
I highly recommend this venue.
Hands down the best VRBO we have stayed at, super comfortable and clean. Above and beyond with the personalized welcome card and supplies that absolutely came in super handy after a really long day of travel. The communication with the host (Martin & Weng) was absolutely perfect. the unit is located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood but still close to everything. My favorite thing about the neighborhood is this small cheese and meat shop IJ Mellis Cheese monger.
Thank you Martin & Weng.
The flat is outstanding! It is so well designed -- such a thoughtful and creative space -- so beautiful! It was the perfect getaway for our time in Edinburgh. Our hosts thought of everything, from a warm welcome to a cozy stay. We felt so lucky to have found this spot!
Gracious, responsive hosts. Excellent instructions which made everything easy! Comfortable and personal décor. Fully equipped kitchen and many thoughtful details throughout. Martin and Weng were great. We loved meeting them and staying here! Very well located- 10 minutes walk to the airport bus, 5 minutes to local neighborhood shopping with an excellent cheese shop, wine shop, Swedish bakery and many options for restaurants, pubs and shopping! Very walkable to the sites of Edinburgh. Highly recommend!
Located within easy walking distance to Edinburgh city center, including old town and many great restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. Apartment was spotlessly clean and everything necessary for a perfect stay was provided. Can't recommend this apartment enough!
This is the best designed flat I have been in. The rooms flow into each other and the design has no wasted space. Very comfortable furniture, the kitchen is easy to work in for 2 people. Over the sink you look out to a charming courtyard The owners thought of everything you could possibly need. They were great to deal with and made the stay stay easy. Location is wonderful and convenient to the historic sites. A great walking city!
This is a wonderful apartment for a couple, very comfortable and luxurious. The location is great for getting around Edinburgh both on foot and by public transport. The hosts Martin and Weng are very welcoming.
I have stayed in a number of properties and rented from multiple so called super hosts. This was definitely my best experience . The property is lovely . In a great historic upscale neighborhood walking distance to all of the attractions and great restaurants. The communication with the hosts was the best that I have ever had. If this apartment is booked for your travel dates and you have some flexibility , I would strongly advise you to alter your travel dates so you can experience a stay in this property.
The apartment was spot on, clean, great location, well stocked kitchen, quiet. The hosts were beyond diligent at responding to any inquiries. Cannot recommend this place enough.
Great place in a beautiful and quiet part of town. Very comfortable and well equipped. Hosts were very helpful, and made check in easy. Would happily return and would recommend to any couple.
Just back from 3 nights in this property - can’t fault anything - clean, well equipped, comfortable, nicely decorated and excellent communications with the owners from point of booking to departure today. Highly recommend - nice neighbourhood
We spent a week in this cosy flat leading up to The Open golf tournament and could not have been more comfortable. The hosts were well organized and provided seemless check-in to the flat. They also provided thoughtful touches including a starter kit of food and drink in the kitchen. We enjoyed breakfast in the courtyard which was private and quiet. The flat is extremely convenient for getting around Edinburgh, Waverley Station, and St. Andrews. We also enjoyed exploring the Water of Leith and the elegant Stockbridge neighborhood on our return visit to Edinburgh. Highly recommended as a safe and convenient location for exploring Edinburgh.
Where to begin? I can’t think of anything that Weng and Martin could have done to make this place more comfortable and welcoming. Truly, they went above and beyond to make us feel pampered and we are so grateful to have lucked out on snagging this lovely gem of a place for our stay in Edinburgh! Thank you so very much for everything!!!!!!!!!!
The flat was gorgeous, decorated with lovely local flare, an artist’s eye, and charmingly comfortable. It was close enough to town for many walking experiences which allowed us to explore a great deal more on foot than expected. It was really close to several great local restaurants with that Edinburgh Flare! We especially loved stopping in for a drink at the Queen’s Arms at the end of a day, where we sampled many Scottish beverages and enjoyed the company of the locals…great craic and a warm environment that felt like we stepped back in time. The decor was very old world, yet it still had the modern bar look as well. Our hosts were wonderful!!! They were easy to get a hold of and timely. The flat was stocked beyond expectations, very generously. All in all, a brilliant week with Our hosts and the city of Edinburgh. We loved it, thank you!
What tremendous hosts. They provided special touches w coffee tea bread, milk and more. Fantastic layout and amenities. Excellent communication. Highly recommended!! Easy walking access to restaurants and castles
Très bien situé dans Edimbourg, appartement cosy, très bien équipé et aménagé, Weng et Martin sont deux hôtes très agréables et sympathiques. Un lieu dans lequel on en a envie de retourner..
