Shaila's place is clean and cosy. I had a good time staying there. I appreciated having a private space and being able to come and go as I pleased and not having concerns about disturbing anyone if I left in the early morning or came back late at night. The one thing that I did find challenging is out of Shaila's control - and that's the neighbourhood noise. There's a school across the road so working from my room was tough at times. There was a day where the school had a party and played music for a couple hours; other days the break times would be a chaos of sound. I'd breathe a sigh of relief when the kids went back to their classrooms. If you're out during the day though, this obviously isn't an issue. The evenings were also sometimes really noisy. One of the neighbours is just really loud so I had to try shut out parents shouting at kids, kids crying etc. Some evenings there were also quite scary gunshot like noises. I think it might have been firecrackers but the first time I heard them I was petrified. Again, if you're out and about most of the time this won't affect you too much. But if you're needing a quiet space, Shaila's place could be tricky. However if you want somewhere homely, to come home to, then I can confidently recommend Shaila's.
