The accommodation consists of an entrance hall, south-west-facing living/dining room, internal kitchen, double bedroom, and a shower room.

There is ample permit-controlled on-street parking to the front, a communal garden to the rear, and a well-kept common stair with secure entry system.

Convenient for the bustling Grassmarket and the Royal Mile, it is just a few streets away from the open parklands of The Meadows and Bruntsfield Links. Within a short radius there are many bars, restaurants, bistros and cafes, along with a broad range of chain and specialist shops. Bruntsfield and Morningside, both bustling shopping areas, are within a mile of the property, and are home to the Church Hill Theatre, Dominion Cinema, and a Waitrose store. The Fountain Park leisure complex, around one mile to the west, hosts a multiscreen cinema, ten-pin bowling and fitness centres. There is easy access into the city centre by bus or on foot.
