gerard’s home was perfect for us during the fringe - close enough to walk to all the shows in 30-40 minutes but enough out of the fray that you didn’t feel so overwhelmed! plenty of lovely restaurants around the corner (orinoco was a particular favorite for some very flavorful food!) and several shops within close distance to fill the fridge. gerard has an extremely comprehensive guide to the area which was very nice. the only negative is that the bed wasn’t the most comfortable (weirdly a queen size on a double box spring i think?) but not enough to knock any stars off what was a wonderful stay!
