Matthew's place is more than perfectly located. Get out of the house right into beautiful Rose Street with bars and restaurants to the max. Breakfast in nearby Valerie's or (start 10 a.m.) Elements - both delicious. Guiness or elses and Scottish meals all around. Just 15 mins walk to Royal Mile, 20 to the castle, maybe. The flat has style. Old building, no elevator (you won't like it when with heavy motorbike cases - but that's a different story - with just a few bags, the climbing is nothing (just 3 floors). Enough space for 4; yet small and cosy. Fine warm given that it was February. Most charming detail: The floor isn't "straight" - it goes a bit up and down; we loved that. Matthew, obviously, is in the process of brushing up his flat. It was newly painted and he told us, that a new bed is about to come. MIND one THING: Parking needs KNOWLEDGE: Download the RingGo App (Android or iPhone), bring your vehicle to close-by Charlotte Square when unloaded and pay parking fee by App. It is free between 18.30 and 8.30. 2 hours are around 6 GBP. Extending is possible. Leaving the car for the whole day might be a challenge (and expensive), but for that case, Matthew knows alternatives (and gives them). Matthew's a wonderful host with everything; even though we didn't manage to meet (as we couldn't tell a precise time), he arranged everything in a totally convenient way with the help of his son. And he had milk and fizz in the fridge for us - how lovely - which we didn't touch (but drank all his Nespresso coffee ;))) - All in all a most wonderful experience which we may probably gladly repeat when visiting Edinburgh again.
