We had a great time at Shawna’s place. It was beautiful and well set up. I was worried about the proximity to the railway line but we didn’t hear it once!
My only issue was the location/area. Parkdale had a lot of interesting people around - I’m not sure if they were homeless or invalids but we tried to look past it all. On our second to last day my wallet was stolen out of the back of our stroller while I attended to my baby who was in the stroller less than a metre away. It was taken by a man walking past me and my 3 children while we were outside a grocer! That made me feel justified in not feeling super safe in the area. I realise that this is not related to Shawna or her house which were awesome (hence the 5 star review) but want people staying here in the future to be aware and less naive than me!!
