We had a really nice time at Shaun's place. He wasn't there but his friend Colin helped us and was awesome to communicate with! The only hesitation I have about recommended Shaun's place is the location. I would rate it 8 out of 10, it's about a 40 minute walk from the Royal Mile/ George 4 Bridge/ and Grassmarket which was the area we always seemed to end up at night. It was quiet and clean!
