Mathias is a great host who is helpful and communicates well. The apartment is in a really useful spot to access the Old Town and the Fringe Festival if visiting in August, as we were. It’s about a 10 minute walk to the Grass Market and Edinburgh Castle.
The only problem is parking in the area is really expensive at over £4 per hour on the street, so we had to park about a 20 minute walk away from the apartment in order to avoid the costly parking zones in the city.
