*Amazing Location!*In heart of the City. 2BR & Cot Overview

First Impressions

Walking down Old Fishmarket Close feels like stepping back in time — you’re literally in one of Edinburgh’s most historic wynds, and honestly, the location of *Amazing Location!*In heart of the City. 2BR & Cot couldn’t be more perfect. I mean, you’re right there in the Old Town, surrounded by centuries-old stone buildings and that unmistakable Edinburgh atmosphere. The apartment itself sits in this narrow close that most tourists walk past without realizing there are actual places to stay tucked away here. It’s one of those discoveries that makes you feel like you’ve found a secret.

The Heart of Old Town

You know what’s brilliant about this spot? You can walk to the Royal Mile in about thirty seconds — I’m not exaggerating. The Castle’s practically looming over you, and when you step out in the morning, you’re immediately part of that bustling Old Town energy. But here’s the thing couples especially love (and I totally get why the rating reflects this) — once you duck into the close, it’s surprisingly quiet. You get all the excitement of being in the absolute center of things without the constant noise. St. Giles’ Cathedral is right there, Deacon’s House Café is around the corner, and honestly, you couldn’t ask for a better base to explore Edinburgh’s historic heart.

The Space Itself

This four-star apartment actually delivers on space, which isn’t always a given in Edinburgh’s Old Town. The two bedrooms work really well — whether you’re traveling with friends or family, or just want that extra room to spread out. The living area feels properly lived-in rather than sterile, and you’ve got everything you need for a longer stay. What I particularly appreciated was how the windows frame those classic Edinburgh views — you know, the kind where you’re looking across to other historic buildings and getting glimpses of the city’s layers of history. The cot mentioned in the name is there if you need it, though most guests probably come for the location rather than traveling with little ones.

Daily Life Here

Mornings are pretty special when you can grab coffee and pastries from one of the nearby spots and actually have a proper kitchen to enjoy them in. The Royal Mile gets busy during the day (especially during Festival season), but you can always retreat back to your own space. I found myself using the apartment as a real base — coming back between exploring sessions, which you can’t really do when you’re staying further out. The grocery situation is sorted too, with shops within easy walking distance, though honestly, with so many great restaurants nearby, you might not cook as much as you planned.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.5 rating makes complete sense once you’ve stayed here — it’s the combination of being genuinely in the thick of things while having your own space to retreat to. Couples particularly seem to love how romantic the Old Town setting is, especially in the evenings when the closes are quieter and the stone buildings are beautifully lit. You’re paying for location here, and you absolutely get it. This isn’t just convenient — it’s the kind of spot where you feel like you’re actually living in Edinburgh rather than just visiting it.
