Matthew's apartment is in Leith, which I would describe as an up and coming area of the city. It's in a big apartment complex on the 4th floor. It's a little tricky to find the building because it's set back from the street. You have to climb quite a few steps to get to the entrance, but then there's an elevator/lift to take you to the apartment. There's plenty of free street parking. Matthew left very clear instructions for entering the building and the apartment. The downside is that the apartment is very cold. I'm not sure how it's heated because there are no radiators and no vents. If you plan to cook, please be aware that the kitchen isn't well equipped, and the oven makes a loud noise, so we ended up not using it. Of course that won't bother you if you plan to eat out.
