About this apartment rental

A spacious three-bedroom Georgian apartment on Union Street, in Edinburgh's lively Broughton neighbourhood. It sleeps six and keeps many of its original features, including polished flagstones, elaborate plasterwork and three marble fireplaces. The Edinburgh Playhouse is a couple of minutes' walk away, the Picardy Place tram stop has direct trams to the airport, and the shops of the St James Quarter and the bars and cafés of Broughton Street are on your doorstep.

**A ground-floor Georgian apartment with period features**
The entrance hall, with its classical pillars, has a desk and chair if you need to work. The large living and dining room has two astragal windows with working shutters looking onto the cobbled street. Comfortable seating is grouped around a black marble fireplace, with a 40-inch TV, a Blu-ray player, free wifi and plenty of books. A dining table with antique chairs seats all six of you.

**Kitchen**
The kitchen has a gas hob, an electric oven, a dishwasher, a washing machine and a tumble dryer, with a full set of cookware, crockery, cutlery and glassware. A small table by the window seats four for breakfast.

**Bedrooms and bathrooms**
The main bedroom, at the quiet back of the apartment, has a super king bed, a wardrobe, a dressing table and a sofa. The two other bedrooms are also large, and each can be made up as twin beds or a super king, so the apartment suits three couples, a family or a group of friends. The main bathroom has a bath, a separate shower and a heated towel rail, and there's a second toilet off the hall.

**Stay near the Edinburgh Playhouse**
Union Street is one of the closest places to stay for a show at the Edinburgh Playhouse, Scotland's largest theatre. You can walk home in a couple of minutes after the curtain comes down. In August the Playhouse and the venues around Picardy Place and Leith Walk are part of the Edinburgh Festival, and in December the Christmas markets on Princes Street and in the St James Quarter are a short walk away.

**Good to know**
The apartment is on the ground floor, with a few steps up to the front door.

There's no private parking. On-street parking nearby is paid.

A travel cot and high chair can be added when you book.

No parties, no smoking and no pets.

8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
Overall, we had a good stay. The host was very responsive and communicated well with us before check-in, which we appreciated. However, the apartment looked older than it appeared in the photos. Our main issue was at checkout. The cleaning staff arrived exactly at 11:00 a.m. and were quite impatient. We explained that we only needed about 15 extra minutes, but we were told we could have only 10 minutes, and the interaction felt rude and unnecessary.

This was a great location within walking distance of excellent restaurants and major sites. The on-site laundry was a welcome perk. The large windows provided great ventilation and cool sleeping temperatures. The half bathroom was an unexpected bonus. We look forward to visiting again!
