We stayed at Alan's flat while attending the Festival Fringe. The location was PERFECT! We were just steps from the Fringe main box office and central to the vast majority of venues. Despite being so close to the activities, restaurants, pubs, and public transportation, the flat was quiet for sleeping and felt private.
The bed was a bit smaller than we're used to but we made it work and did not need to utilize the additional sleeper sofa in the flat. Kitchen was well-equipped. Shower had great water pressure and was outstanding!
Alan was well-organized and provided information in advance to help us with our stay. The lock-box for the house key made check-in and check-out a breeze.
This flat has everything you need for a comfortable stay including a clothes washer, good wifi, and cable TV to keep up with the news. I highly recommend it for your Edinburgh stay.
