Shambala was a cute, clean, nicely appointed bungalow that was pretty much as advertised. We stayed for Paddlefest over Memorial weekend and were able to easily walk to the park for the watercraft demos as well as walking downtown to events and restaurants. We barely used our cars. VERY conveniently located.
The living room was way more spacious than you would have expected, and bedrooms were very comfortable. The linens and towels were great, and it was fun to watch Neltflix one of the nights we were there. It was nice to find some tasty snacks on the kitchen table when we arrived. And though we didn't use it, they had an espresso maker in addition to the coffee maker, and some nice Starbucks roast in the cupboard. It was also useful having a washer/dryer on the premises.
Keep in mind that the two upstairs bedrooms share a bath, so though one of them could technically be called the "master" with a door directly into the bathroom, the other room uses the same bath. The bunk bedroom downstairs uses the downstairs bathroom.
One note: If you like a hot bath, this is not the place for you. To get water hot enough to fill a tub, you have to start and stop several times while filling. The water was fine for a shower, however.
There were a few things the hosts could do the improve the rental:
1. There is no place to hang towels in the upstairs bathroom. A few hooks outside the bathroom door would do the trick.
2. They provided cone filters for a basket-style coffee maker, so a lot of grounds leaked into the coffee pot each time we made coffee. Basket filers are needed.
3. The living room could use an additional comfy chair to accommodate the number of guests able to sleep there.
Also, we were surprised to find when we arrived (May 2018) that the house next door had been demolished and there was just a dirt-filled lot there with construction equipment. Not sure if that will be an issue for future guests, but it was an eyesore.
All in all, however, I'd recommend this rental. It's cute, in a great location, and the owners have done a great job providing guests with what they need for a comfortable stay.
