Shannon was so accommodating and welcoming. I stayed with Shannon for a week while I was in the area moving my daughter from the east coast to the west coast. Due to bad New England weather, we had a couple of delays that caused me to have to check in at 11pm. Shannon was awake to welcome me and show me where everything was. She offered amenities such as use of the kitchen (including my own shelf in the refrigerator), fresh towels, my own shelf for my items in the shared bathroom, etc. I am sure she would've offered me much more, including tips on where to eat and things to do, but I only needed a bed to sleep in as I was busy all day with my daughter. When I came in after spending the whole day with my daughter Shannon would ask me how it was going and she was truly interested, which was so nice. I was often too tired to hold a lengthy conversation, but she was so warm with her comments and questions, it was so nice to come home to.
I loved the neighborhood Shannon's house is in. It's in a very nice neighborhood with plenty of street parking, beautiful homes and nice green yards. Other parts of the city (including where my daughter now lives) is very difficult to find parking and the houses are all in one long row with no yard. It's not a touristy area, but is still close enough to get to the big attractions that it's not an inconvenience.
