About the location

Portobello is known as "Edinburgh`s Seaside" and is located only 15-20 minutes from the city centre by a very good public transport system or taxi/car. The town’s main feature is a three mile long safe and sandy beach and promenade, with a large number of very good cafes, restaurants and bars in which to drink, dine and relax, most of which are within 5-10 minutes walking distance of the apartment.

Portobello has a relaxed cosmopolitan atmosphere and is an excellent base for enjoying all of Edinburgh`s many attractions, museums, parks, shopping, but also for visiting the beautiful East Lothian coast with its many beaches and Championship grade golf courses.
