Couldn't be happier, really. Complete with a Friends-style roof garden (i.e. you climb thru the window to get to it, but it's possible even for fatties like me) this lovely flat is just round the corner from Bristo square, the hub of the Fringe.
So you're 5 minutes walk from a Tesco's, burrito bars, noodle bars, there's a pub across the road that do a really nice breakfast and you're right next door to a sushi place, not to mention the Starbucks next door but one and the nearby legendary Kismot curry house.
It's also quite easy to get to the Pleasance Courtyard from here but a bit more of a walk. The only hardship comes if you wanna get to the new town. The Stand, Half Price Hut, the OMNI centre, etc: these are all Princes St and beyond so you'll need an appetite for walking or the patience to sit in traffic if you're headed to that area.
Parking is tricky but not impossible - we found a place about a 15 minute walk away that works out £1 per hour - that was £72 for us as we just left the car there all weekend; but that's not bad. There are also spaces right outside the building where you can temporarily park during the week to un/load.
Sara was incredibly helpful and the place itself was immaculate. No microwave, but honestly with that many choices for eating out, why on earth would you need one?
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this host.
Thank you <3 :-D
