Two Irish currently living in Vancouver headed to Shans for the weekend. Shan was immediately welcoming, warm & informative upon our unannounced early arrival. His home is a beautiful spot up on a hill with a stunning view. The bathroom felt like popping out to a day spa (Double shower head = a dream). It was so clean it felt like it I was in an ikea showroom. The kitchen is a big open plan and theres a little artistic front room with a view out to the green trees, hills and beyond. The whole house is really creative and artistic with stunning photography & artwork displayed everywhere. A feast for the eyes.
The room we stayed in was SO cozy. Right away Shan had a charger there for us, an alarm clock, a hairdryer, fresh towels, blankies, the works. He thoughtfully created a locals guide to seattle with guest reviews of local places too (The Gin Bathtub was brilliant secret bar! Our favourite Irish bar was Fadó). Communication was perfect, he trusted us & made us feel at home even if we did stumble in at 3am.
Shan's got style.
