We didn't get to meet Shelley but we had a nice time staying in the cottage. We especially loved the convenience of parking in a gated area right on the doorstep of the cottage. I also loved the great shower and the beautiful tranquil decor. The TV also has lots of channels and on demand. The only slight disappointment was that the patio in the picture is not actually private- it is shared with the main house. We were hoping to invite over friends to hang out on the patio but didn't feel comfortable doing so as it could have easily disturbed the hosts. Overall though it was a great first airbnb experience!
