I used to live in Edinburgh, so I know the city well and this place suited all our needs. Fringe-month can be exceptionally busy and unbearable at times so we decided to book Mapmakers because its location – its 5min from the city centre and the neighbourhood is peaceful and quite. We criss-crossed the UK in just over 3000 miles and when we arrived in Edinburgh we wanted to leave our car for a bit but struggled to find long stay perking.
