Shirley is a gem of a host! My girlfriend and I had the best month-long stay at her place in South Park. She welcomed us with a basket of wine, cheese, and basic groceries. Its actually quite surprising how nice it is to not have to go out and buy milk, eggs and butter the first day! She was always accommodating to our needs and happily answered our questions about the neighborhood and the place.
The place has a lot of character and we found it to be very comfortable. Just the right size and no tacky decorations. The only problem was that we couldn't stay longer!
Shirley is really mellow and a joy to be around. I'm sure you'll thoroughly enjoy being hosted by her.
