We had a wonderful stay at Shane's place over a long weekend. It's proximity to Haymarket station and to the city is perfect (also, you can store bags at a hotel nearby if you're leaving after check out; we did it and it was super convenient). We were able to walk just about anywhere. The house itself is great and has some charming quirks! Very quiet and spacious, perfect for 3-6 people to stay. There are some great pubs and restaurants nearby as well. Lesley & Shane were excellent hosts and responded quickly to all of our questions. Would happily stay here next time we are in Edinburgh!
