East New Town & Hillside
The East New Town and Hillside area is where it’s at. Running from Scotland Street in the West to Broughton Road in the North, Lower London Road in the East and Regent Terrace in the South. Local resident, Peter Irvine, of Edinburgh’s Hogmanay fame christened the area The East Village.
The highpoint, literally, of the area is Calton Hill. A walk up here is rewarded to magnificent views across the whole of the city and photo opportunities abound on Calton Hill. The National Monument is much climbed and the Nelson Monument was built to look like Nelson’s upturned telescope. The City Observatory is now the home of the Collective Gallery and there’s a cute café there too. Calton Hill is an incredible place to watch the fireworks, The Beltane Festival held there on 30th April is very popular and an enormous torchlight procession on 30th December culminates on the Hill.

"We stayed in this lovely apartment with our teenagers for an entire month and would do it again in a heartbeat. It was simple but elegant, clean, and comfortable. Its location placed it near grocery stores, but also reasonably close to restaurants, bus stops, and the royal mile, without feeling like we were surrounded by large crowds all the time. Climbing Calton Hill each day as a short cut home became a glorious ritual that we looked forward to and that we already miss now that we are back in the US." John K
"I stayed with a good friend and co-worker for a long weekend in June 2016 and loved this place! The apartment has a stylish and eclectic interior we really enjoyed. Although it's a basement apartment, it has much light and we felt very welcomed by our lovely host Xanthe. This vacation home really exceeded our expectations. The location is central with many Edinburgh sights in walking distance. Restaurants and bars are nearby too. I will surely book it again for a Edinburgh holiday with my family!"
"A longterm stay whilst working in the city was a tremendous experience. A basement flat but with very good light, design of great style, and all that could be required bar a gym (there is one 100 yards away) made several months of work be enjoyable in a very calming and creative environment. Excellent care by the owner and a location that allowed for easy walking into the city centre with garage parking available at such time.High quality accommodation served with great taste"
"We stayed in this fantastic city centre apartment over Hogmanay and it lived up to our expectations. Really comfortable beds, spacious rooms, clean, warm and well equipt with everything we needed.
The location is great, takes about 15 mins to walk to the city centre, even with my 5 yr old with us.
A great find for a long weekend in Edinburgh!"
"Everything was great! We'd love to come back to this apartment!" - K Peick
"Perfect stay, welcoming apartment and we really appreciated the attention to detail and little luxuries they provided". - Jane M
