Edinburgh tourist blown away by capital's 'best Airbnb' with crystal chandeliers

An Edinburgh tourist has been blown away by what she claims is the capital's 'best Airbnb' with stunning crystal chandeliers, a huge bookcase and classic Scottish portraits throughout the apartment.

The TikTok user known as Alayna shared the video of her swish accommodation in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle and wrote: "My jaw about hit the floor when we opened the door."

The stunning apartment is on Castle Hill just minutes from the Castle located in the heart of Edinburgh's tourist district and historic Royal Mile.

It costs around £180 a night to stay in the one bedroom loft apartment on Castle Hill and the accommodation was featured in Condé Nast Traveller, earlier this year.

The loft apartment is unique with the luxurious double bed enclosed in a wooden cupboard in the centre of the room with grand wooden panels. There is a huge bookcase perfect for snuggling up in front of the grand fire place.

Above the spacious dining area there is a stunning crystal chandelier that sparkles in the natural light flowing in from the huge windows. The flat boasts views of the historic Royal Mile, Tolbooth Kirk, the Castle and other landmarks.

The AirBnB is described as: "Oak panelled walls, wooden window shutters, and warm parquet floors surround you.

"Choose from hundreds of books and read in a secret bed box behind floor-to-ceiling shelves. Family portraits and heirlooms happily coexist with works of modern art."

The TikTok video gathered over 18,000 views and 3,000 likes with social media users blown away by the suave apartment.

One said: "That last shot up the street would make this worth it without it being so nice." Maryssa Chaplin joked: "A white couch in an Airbnb is a crazy brave choice."

One person said: "Breathtaking." While another said: "Beautiful space wow." One person added: "The owners would have to physically remove me at the end of my vacation! I wouldn't want to leave beautiful."
