Please be aware that this apartment is located on the top (3rd floor) of a 100yr old building. As is common in most older apartments there is no elevator therefore this apartment is not suitable for people that do not like stairs. There are 3 flights, and 2 landings. We do want to add that being the top floor does have benefits, there's no noise from above, and there are lovely views from the rooms located to the back.
Bruntsfield along with neighbouring Morningside and Merchiston is one of the most upmarket and prosperous areas of Edinburgh. As with all citys not all areas in the city centre are recommended to stay in, but this area has a lovely safe feel to it.
