My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Alan's place for a week during the Edinburgh Fringe and International Festivals. Most of the event venues (and the city's top sights) were at walking distance from the apartment. The place is very well done up, comfortable, and peaceful, despite being just a few minutes away from the venues. I'd recommend the place to anyone looking to visit the city to attend these festivals. Additional note to vegans and vegetarians - there are many eateries nearby serving vegan and vegetarian food, with at least two of them being a ten-minute walk from the apartment. On the whole, a great place for a stay in the city.
