    I used this Sainsbury's when going to Murrayfield for Scotland v South Africa. There was plenty of space to park away from the shop entrance and it was easy to find for someone not used to driving in Edinburgh. No problems encountered and I would recommend as it is just about 1 mile from the stadium, giving a pleasant walk.

  • Parking on Telford Drive, EH4

    Once we had contacted the owner by phone the parking space was easy to find, we just did not realise it was a flat we were looking for but she was really nice and friendly to talk to. The only reason I gave a 4☆ and not 5 was that we had a large Mercedes and the just fitted with not a lot of room. I would recomend it anyway.

    My first time using this App so wasn't sure what to expect! The booking process was straight forward and easy. When I got to the place, (which is v easy to find) Lesley was really helpful and friendly and it was an easy and safe place to park. After a day of driving I walked in to the centre where I was staying which was a fairly long walk but doable and a nice walk, and then got an Uber back to collect the car which was easy and under a tenner. Would highly recommend this parking space!
