Photos and Description of the Edinburgh & Lothians vacation apartment rental Centrally located, walking distance of designer shops, bars, restaurants.

2A Hart Street is an exceptional two-bedroom, two-bathroom garden property that was completely refurbished in 2005 in a modern style that pleasingly and interestingly both contrasts with and yet complements the exterior of this fine Georgian building. Just an easy 10 minute walk from Edinburgh’s famous Waverley Station, Princes Street, the five-star Balmoral Hotel and designer stores such as Harvey Nichols, Mulberry and Louis Vuitton, the flat could scarcely be more centrally situated. Its immediate environs of Broughton Street are both lively and individualistic. Life is lived here around the clock, but Hart Street itself is a quiet oasis. The interior walls are mostly white, with a couple of contrasting pastel-coloured panels. The kitchen is state-of-the-art, whilst the living area has an inordinately, comfortable leather sofa and an alluring gas fire. The bedecked and remarkably light garden has a striking water feature.

Further details for this vacation apartment rental in Edinburgh & Lothians, United Kingdom

GARDEN: The garden represents this apartment’s best hidden asset. Mostly decked and therefore very low-maintenance, its unusual, soothing rock water feature is the centrepiece. This space comes into its own in the spring and summer months, since, unlike so many New Town gardens it actually gets quite a lot of sun, especially in the late afternoons and evenings. Being west-facing, with no towering buildings to block the sun’s rays, it is a rare retreat in this part of Edinburgh. Throughout the year, however, the inspired outdoor lighting makes this tranquil terrace an inspired addition to the property.

HART STREET: Compared to very many streets in the New Town, the elegantly wide Hart Street is a haven. Located just off Broughton Street, to the south of Forth Street, it is covered with tarmac. (Tarmac is one of Scotland's great inventions so, unlike many roads around here, there is no rude awakening by the sound of rubber tyres – yet another great Scottish invention, by the way – rumbling over the cobbles!) Hart Street is part of an exquisite Georgian development which was conceived and overseen by Hugh Cairncross in the early 19th Century. Robert Adam (the most celebrated of all British Georgian architects) was in fact Cairncross's mentor.

Review Submitted: June 15, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
As a regular users of holiday rental accomodation we felt that this is one of the few places that really deserves comment. We wholeheartedly recommend it!
The description is 100% accurate and, if anything, the photo's do not do it justice.
From our first enquiry, through to our departure, Lizzie could not have been more helpful.
The apartment is kept beautifully by Diane who also goes the extra mile by bothering to call and check everything is okay. "Thank you Diane"!
Anyone wanting 'home from home' comfort and a top location for seeing the sights of Edinburgh should look no further. Its a great location with really good restaurants on the doorstep, a kitchen with enough equipment to cook a good meal and even though in the heart of the city its tucked away in a quiet side street.
Our only reseravtion in reviewing the apartment is that it will encourgae others to book it and we'll be very sorry if its not available next time we vist Edinburgh.
Without doubt, we'll want to stay here again.

Perfect location

Review Submitted: February 19, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
This property is in an excellent spot - within walking distance of the train station, shops and main sights. We spent a long weekend there and were very comfortable. Parking is free at weekends and at night but on weekdays charges start from 8.30am which meant an early start. There is plenty of parking available even though it is mainly a permit only area. The local wine shop and the basement grocery store were handy. The apartment is beautifully finished and clean and we were sad to leave and would have been happy to stay longer.

Great apartment in great location!

Review Submitted: December 15, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
My fiance arranged for us to stay here for a weekend as a birthday surprise.

The apartment is in the most perfect location - within walking distance of the shops, station, theatre, lots of pubs and restaurants, High St and Edinburgh Castle and there are some delicious delis and cafes just round the corner. The apartment is on a small road that runs parallel to Broughton St - so despite being so close to everything it is also lovely and quiet.

There were only 2 of us - but it would be perfect for 2 couples - plenty of space and 2 bathrooms (one ensuite).

The apartment is very contemporary with an amazing garden patio. Unfotunately it was too cold for us to enjoy it! But it would be wonderful in the warmer months! Despite the HUGE choice of eateries nearby we cooked one meal in, just to take advantage of the lovely kitchen.

I would definitely recommend this apartment to friends and family - and would also recommend it to staying in a hotel as you would have more space, a quiet, yet convenient location, and great facilities.

Great apartment, great location

Review Submitted: August 10, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Stayed for over a week at this extremely central property and it was the ideal base to explore the delights of the city (and Edinburgh festival). Super restaurants, coffee shops, etc nearby, as are many of the city's attractions and shopping. Booking was very helpful and straightforward. A warm Scottish welcome was provided upon key collection - a catch up call towards the end of the week was much appreciated. Highly recommended. A comfortable, modern apartment in lovely building with the benefit of outside space. No hesitation in recommending a visit.
