Shane is a fantastic host. He runs his home like a hostel, with both short- and long-term guests in and out all the time. It's a great place to get to meet fellow travelers and rest your head for any amount of time. He gives you complete autonomy to come and go as you please.
Keep in mind that the basement rooms are very basic and a bit dark, and you can hear foot traffic from upstairs, but they're clean, quiet, safe and close to all the happenings on Alberta... so, all in all an incredible deal! Oh, and his pup is adorable. I would definitely recommend Shane's place to a friend.
