Wonderful! Cozy. Great location. I especially loved how Darla's place is just a short walk to The Forks Market (check out Bindy's Caribbean Delights) & the Human Rights Museum (absolutely brilliant). Perfect for me.
I stayed at "The Shire" for about 10 days. Right off the bat, the fact that Darla names her place, "The Shire", is an instant standing ovation from me. I also really appreciated all the little things that Darla adds to make the experience feel like another home away from home (e.g. Welcome snacks, custom guidebook to the neighbourhood, colourful decor & artwork).
As a Host, Darla is such a wonderful person. Communication is great--Darla is quick to respond and always willing to offer assistance if/when questions or concerns came up.
Overall, I highly recommend staying at Darla's place. A great host makes a tremendously positive difference to your trip, and it's clear how Darla genuinely makes your visit the best it can possibly be. Since this was my first trip to Winnipeg, all of Darla's efforts definitely brightened my experience in the city. Thanks so much, Darla!
