We loved the space that Fiona's place gave us. Some lovely bars and restaurants a short walk from the apartment and a 15/20 minute walk into the centre. All in all great value for money. On street parking over the weekend is free and easy. M-F you pay up to 5.30pm (then it's free overnight) and can only stay for 4 hours but that didn't cause us any problems because we drove out of town a couple of days to art galleries and the Pentland Hills. To pay for the parking is easy if you have a mobile so you can sort it out in the mornings without even getting out of bed!
