My girlfriend and I have been coming to Edinburgh for the Fringe every year for the last six years, and have stayed in a lot of different flats around the town. Ian's apartment - in terms of location, cleanliness and facilities - has been the best by a long, long way. We absolutely loved staying here. The location is about as good as it gets in Edinburgh - near most of the main Fringe venues, all the main sights, loads of shops/pubs/restaurants, and it's also close to the train station. Despite that, the flat is surprisingly quiet as it's located at the back of the building (which also means you get a nice view from the windows). There's a really nice Mexican restaurant just a few doors down, and we also love the pub/restaurant Albanach on the corner of the street for our obligatory annual helping of haggis! There are some great little independent souvenir shops on this street too.

Ian himself was friendly, accommodating and always quick to reply to any texts or emails. We would be delighted to stay in one of his properties again.
