I really enjoyed staying at Shaun's flat in Edinburgh/Leith. Since I was looking for a flat of my own in that area, it was a very convenient base and had everything you could need within a 5 to 10 minute walk (Tesco, banks, restaurants, cafés, bus stops, etc.). Unfortunately, I did not get to meet Shaun as he was out of town, but his friend, Colin, helped check me in and was incredibly friendly. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking to enjoy Edinburgh from a comfortable distance from the bustle of the city center, while still being able to go out and about very easily. Check out the waterfront in Leith if you get a chance - it's definitely a missed opportunity, and Shaun's place is so close that it'd be a pity to not have a nice dinner out there.

Thanks again, Shaun!
