George and Sherman are truly the consummate hospitable hosts but go well beyond with generosity across the board including snacks, fruit, flowers, rides, and clearly sincere care and concern for the positivity of your stay. The private room and bathroom provided are spacious, comfortable and elegant - yes I said that! There is even access to private gardens!!! I've been to the Fringe Festival 13 times and if you know Edinburgh like I do, then you know that this is a totally walkable city from the very SE to the very NW. If someone looks at their place and says "it seems a bit out of the way", then with all due respect, you don't know Edinburgh. Their place is a 10 minute stroll to George St, a very stylish street with tons of restaurants bars shops and at least a couple of major Fringe venues. A 15-20 walk from their place gets you to the Mound, the very physical center of the city. Another 5-10 minutes up the hill from the Mound gets you to the Royal Mile and the Castle entrance, and also the epicenter of the Fringe's most densely packed in cluster of venues. The beauty of their place is its quietude and calmer, more residential pace, yet definitely walking distance to - quite literally - anywhere you'd want to get to in Edinburgh.
