We had a short stay at Shannon’s apartment. Shannon greeted us and gave us a brief orientation. He also checked with us during our stay. The apartment was clean and attractive. It offered the basics for a comfortable stay. There were nice extra touches like coffee and a welcoming split of wine. The neighborhood offered numerous restaurants, small markets and good local transportation. The inside stairs up to the front door of the apartment were steep with no handrail. We could ocassionally hear neighbors inside and outside the building, dogs barking and motorcycles on the street in front. It quieted down at night for sleeping.
