Doreen & Shane were very friendly hosts - They helped us out with suggestions and gave us space too. Our conversations with them were stimulating and fun. The bedrooms were great and comfortable. We had the full use of their kitchen which we appreciated very much. They have a friendly dog and a lovely cat who likes to drink from the tub faucet while you pat her (we have slight cat allergies but did not have any problems as we kept our bedroom doors shut and the cat likes to be outdoors most of the time). I highly recommend staying at Doreen & Shane's place - it is close to the park and not that far from the Botanical Gardens and Museums. The neighborhood is nice to take walks in too.
