So accommodating!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Shire. Our host left us free samples of products that she carries at her store below. The home was super clean and had everything you needed to stay, including towels, extra blankets, fully equipped kitchen complete with spices. She even left mushroom latte powder by Four Sigmatic. I will absolutely stay here again in the future if I’m in need. The location is super convenient to access downtown and within walking distance to a handful of restaurants. I was very happy with my stay!
