An annual gripe-cum-conversational bonding topic amongst Fringe performers is the dearth and therefore expense of decent accommodation. Much of the joy of the event stems from Edinburgh being quite a small city but that means that demand for flats will always outweigh supply.
This morning I went online and started emailing each of the five the accommodation brokers recommended by the Festival organisers. Before I'd finished writing email no. 3 my phone rang. It was a personal response to email no. 1. The woman quickly and efficiently reviewed my needs and then wonderfully put my mind at ease with the following: -
- I was in their system
- I was ahead of the pack with sourcing accommodation
- I would be absolutely fine if I revisited the issue in early April as many properties weren't listed until then
