Shannon is a great and attentive host, communication with her was clear and effective. Finding the house (google maps navigation) and getting into it (door left open for us) was easy. Shannon came to greet us personally and supplied us with some useful info as to where to eat out and what to see.
We traveled as a family with two teenage boys, and the place was large enough for us. The house is in a green residential area, close to a park which is nice for short hikes in a forest (e.g., to enjoy the ocean coast). All the necessary amenities were there to our full satisfaction, including a laundry machine and a dryer which is very handy if you travel light. There are electrical heaters in all rooms which adds comfort if the weather is fresh outside. The highlight was the table in the backyard which is very nice for a relaxed breakfast amidst lots of life — a hummingbird coming to a feeder right next to the table, two smart ravens visiting frequently (obviously to see if there is some food to get), and a raccoon making a morning visit to the garden. All in all it was a very positive experience, and value for money was great, too.
