The Edinburgh short-let market, in plain English.

Edinburgh is consistently ranked among the top short-term rental markets in Europe per capita. The city's Festival season turns August into an operational sprint, with demand surging to three or four times normal levels. Operators who manage this period well can make disproportionate annual returns — but only if their team and task systems can keep up.
