Shannon was an amazing host. The apartment was exactly as pictured. Shannon has a beautiful garden outside and even though we didn't have time, I wish I would have been able to just sit outside and enjoy it. Shannon welcomed us when we arrived and anytime we saw each other she greeted us and asked if we needed anything and how it was going. Before arriving she answered any questions we had and even left a "happy birthday" message for my boyfriend as we were doing a birthday trip. The extra touches really make Shannon one of the best hosts!
