    very conveniently located and easy to operate. Easy to find the place. The owner was very helpful and would certainly recommend this space and Your Parking Space to others

  • Parking on Queensferry Road, EH4

    All fine on arrival and no problem at all finding a space. Parking is in the Holiday Inn Express Car Park which was virtually empty when were there. The Hotel itself looks closed but seemed to be in use for something as there were security guards on the doors (possibly Airport Covid Isolations?). On our return these Security Guards saw us walk into the car park and whilst we were packing the car they coned off the Exit! We tried to find another exit and were then confronted by 3 uniformed security guards and told we shouldn't be there. I explained the "Your Parking Space" deal and that we were just picking up the car which seemed to satisfy them. We then drove to the exit, moved the comes ourselves and drove out! Other than this all was good but not sure Id risk it again after that!

    Great space, not too far from center and great communications from the host. Save residential street that made me at ease to leave the car and enjoy Edinburgh and the Highlands. Thanks

    Cannot thank Andrea enough for when we used this space! Not only was the space well located and easily accessible, Andrea and her mum and neighbour even helped us jump start our car when it ran flat!!! It was a wonderful introduction to Scottish hospitality. Thanks Andrea from Debbie and Will!! :))))
