The room was as sweet and charming (and comfortable) as advertised, in a great location with a great hostess. Shannon was having a big birthday party at her home the weekend I stayed, but this was all communicated beforehand, and did not alter the privacy of the room. I did not interact a lot with her because of how my schedule turned out, but Shannon was friendly and welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed. This was my first experience with AirBNB, and it was an excellent start!
