Now that the NCP at St James is out of action, this is the car park that we tend to use when we are…read morein Edinburgh. With the entrance located in an alleyway down the side of an office block, it is not the easiest car park to navigate. There are no signs pointing you toward it and you will have to do a lot of circling round. It is never really that busy, but all the spaces on the upper levels (closer to the street) seem to be taken every time we come in, forcing us to go down deeper into the bowels of this dungeon to find a space. On the very bottom level (-4) you will always find a space since not many people seem to use this car park. Try and get near the lifts if you can as the car park goes on for miles and you could easily get lost. The lifts in the top left hand corner take you to the footbridge that leads to John Lewis, the middle lifts bring you out at Leith Street and the furthest away lifts take you to the back of the Omni Centre. Once you get to the surface, you will need to hold your token against the sensor for 5 seconds in order to unlock the door to get out. Sometimes the sensor is broken and the door will be left open but it honestly feels safer with the door locked, as no dodgy people can get in. The car park is really creepy though because of how deserted it always is and I always feel quite spooked out every time we have to walk through it. The layout is better than the NCP across the street and is more logical to navigate, whereas in St James, you will be stuck on a floor if there are no spaces and a car comes up because of the badly designed two way system and narrow roads. But apart from the spookiness, the confusing lift arrangement and the prices, it is a safe place to park and you won't have to worry about your car while you are shopping.

When I bought a new flat that came with a parking spot, I looked around for different ways to turn my spot into a mini-business by renting it out since I don't have a car and therefore can't use the spot myself. ParkatmyHouse was super easy to set up my parking spot for free online, choose how much I want to rent it out for (by hour, day, week or month), and upload photos and a description of how to find it. It is also really easy for those who need parking spaces. This ranges from locals who need spots in different areas of town for a few hours or out-of-towners who are looking to stay a few days, or those looking for long-term parking. They just search by location, price, or online rating to find a parking spot, spare driveway, or garage space that's convenient to them, and then they can book online. The site is fantastic in making connections between individuals that never would have been forged before. I've really enjoyed hearing from various visitors who ask me about my spot and how far it is from different places around Edinburgh, or who tell me how convenient the spot was for their race at Holyrood Park, their trip to the Parliament or their week-long holiday with their wife to celebrate her 40th birthday. It's really fun hearing these stories of the individuals who come and go from the spot, and I'm really happy it's going to good use and making people's lives easier to be able to find and book safe parking spots for their time in Edinburgh. Of course being paid for renting out the spot is always a bonus, too, and ParkatmyHouse makes it so easy to set and change prices for the spot, and to transfer the money into my bank account after people come to stay! This has been a brilliant local and international business to use, and I think it really helps people on both sides who want to rent or rent out a parking spot. The site is quite fun to use and makes life easier for locals and visitors alike.

The garage was also clean and had ok lighting. However, when the description on the website says that the road is narrow, they mean very narrow. I've been spoiled in the US by wide roads and spent a few days driving on the Isle of Skye (also narrow roads). This road was beyond narrow. I would say about the width of 2 bike lanes in the US. Granted we had rented a larger car (a must traveling abroad with a toddler) but it was not as big as a Range Rover. We had about 6 inches on each side of the car with the mirrors folded in and had cement walls on either side. It's also not a straight shot. There's a turn into the garage which is slightly wider than the street going up to it but it's still tricky to drive out of it in a SUV (wide turning area into a tiny space). This is not a place to park for a less experienced driver or without the helper of someone guiding.

For five days this cost £20 which to me worked out really well as a taxi to/from the airport would have cost this much each way. Located about a 5 minite drive from the airport, I had little difficulty finding a parking space and the wait time for the shuttle bus was under 3 minutes. Really good for peace of mind and ensuring my car is safe whilst I'm out of the country. No issues upon return either, again the shuttle bus was prompt and I left the parking area quickly and without issue. Would definitely use again.
