Shelley was a wonderful host! We arrived at her place on the 31st of December and, even though she wasn't around, it was really easy to keep in touch with her and get settled. The apartment had most of the things that we needed. Whenever we lacked something, Shelley would always try to get all that is necessary to make us feel welcome and at home. She was also very kind in offering us help when we were moving out.
In general, the location is really nice, but a car is definitely a must if you want to go to the grocery store or explore parks and other locations of interest. You can also take a bus and the bus stop is a short walk away, but we haven't tried taking a bus.
One of the best things about Shelley's place was the high speed internet. Since I work online, it is always important to have a reliable internet connection wherever I go and I must say that Shelley's internet was the best I have encountered while traveling in North America.
We highly recommend staying at Shelley's place.
