Steeped in history, James Court was built in 1723 and has housed many notable figures in its lifetime. A stone archway leads to a fairy tale traditional spiral staircase which rises to this beautiful charming apartment - just off the Royal Mile in Edinburghs historic Old Town. The property itself is a fifth floor apartment laid out over two levels & joined by an inner spiral staircase. Elegantly furnished, & with stunning views over the city, this will provide a dream stay.
Love to travel and explore new places. Often I will be out and about but enjoy a chat as well :)
Walk everywhere! The flat is located in Lawnmarket in Old Town - right at the top of the Royal Mile, 150 yards from Edinburgh Castle. St Giles' Cathedral is visible from the flat, only a few minutes walk away.
