This home is managed on behalf of Collective by JOIVY, which offers a wide selection of top-quality properties across Europe.Accessibility Observatory Apartment was built over 200 years ago and although the City Observatory site itself is wheelchair accessible, unfortunately the Apartment is not due to steps and staircases which cannot be ramped. The Apartment is located on the summit of Calton Hill (105m above sea level). Drop-off by car or taxi is permitted via the Calton Hill access road; however, due to its unique location there is no resident parking on the Hill for House/apartment guests. Laundry and Extra Appliances: The Apartment has an ironing board and iron but please note there is no washing machine in the Apartment.
