Shanny's place is quite big and accommodates lots of people, which is nice if you want to integrate and socialize with people from different cultures and background. The house has the most necessary for a comfortable and nice stay. The neighborhood is a bit far from the city center but has public transportation nearby as well as a walkable Walmart and other fruit markets and few restaurants. There is also a park in a 30-min walkable distance with a path for bike/runners which is nice as well for people who wish to exercise near his house.
Shanny is also great with communication and you can reach him easily if you need anything.
