The Shire

Will definitely return. Thanks Jeannette

She’s basically grown to be part of my family now. She has been helping me look for a permanent place which is awesome because she knows everything about Baltimore. She’s really an amazing human being and almost has me rooting for the Ravens and Orioles. She will make you fall in love with the city. Best place to stay in my opinion.

She knows the city very well and can quickly point you in the right direction especially if you’re new to the city. I will certainly be staying at her place in the future and if it’s your first time in Baltimore this is the place unless you mind pets however, her mid-size dog is friendly and I barely heard the little guy.

When I first arrived Jeannette was extremely helpful in ensuring I get around the city fine. The room was beyond expectations given the price. It does have a tv with local channels but I wasn’t expecting that inside the room. The bed is comfortable and the rooftop deck is beyond amazing. I would definitely recommend this place or stay here again. I had complete privacy. Thank you again Jeannette your hospitality was nothing short of amazing

It’s roomy, private and has that cool quirk than makes Baltimore the jewel of a city it is. Jeannette is a stupendous host. If I were to only say she goes above and beyond for her guest I’d be understating her hospitality. I believe her warmth is the reason all of her stay booked for months. The value is just an added bonus.

She provided everything a person would want for their stay in a new city. The room was good for me, I stayed in the Shrine (the basement room) as I requested for it since I never lived in a basement so wanted to experience that. It was well maintained, has a kinda hipster vibe to it, only the height of the roof was a factor for me, it was barely my height 5’9” so I had to walk around carefully always in the mind that I might not hit the roof or some other pipe. Anyways, stay was good. Thanks again Jeannette.

I have another stay already booked. Jeannette is a great host (don’t be deterred by her written requirements). Be sure to check out her rooftop and do NOT park near Broadway.

She is a nice person. I would come back for sure!

Walkable to Johns Hopkins. Comfy place. Friendly host.

She’s generous once she gets to know you and always great conversation. The Shire space is as advertised, simple and solid if you need somewhere to crash for a couple nights!

Jeannette’s place is well located, close to Fells Point with lots of night life and restaurants, and well situated for anyone going to Hopkin’s. The room is unique and very comfortable, however do take note of height restrictions! She is incredible hospitable, and has a wealth of knowledge about Baltimore. Jeannette, thank you so much!

I had a really good stay, and felt very at home here. Jeannette was warm, friendly and helpful – and her two cats and one dog were also welcoming and friendly!

Thanks Jeannette!!

I can recommend her without hesitation! She has great local insight where to go and even more importantly in Baltimore, where not to go! She helped wherever she could with day to day issues, the bed was very comfortable, the house is clean and quiet and the view on the rooftop deck incredible. She has two adorable cats and the cutest dog, all of them happy to meet new people, and they don’t go into your room unless asked by you to do so, but if you don’t like animals this might not be the right fit for you. For me however, the prospect of furry companionship was part of the reason I chose to stay with Jeannette, and I did not for one second regret my decision!!

I am delighted with my experience and I will definitely choose Jeannette’s place the next time I am in town! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Jeannette is the nicest and most accommodating Host ever . She even helped me with my interview prep ! Can you believe that ! Five stars for Shire !

Will use again!

Very accommodating host check me in later than I expected.

She was very helpful and the location is the best.

It was a such a pleasure getting to know you! It is so inspirational to meet people with such enjoyment of life. Looking forward to staying with you again.

Jeannette is clear to explain and show you each item you need know during your staying.

Jeannette is a great host!

It’s in a great spot.

It’s quiet and spacious (perfect for playing tag with Jeannette’s wonderful sheltie, Copper), everything I could need was provided. Jeannette’s rules were laid out clear and comprehensive ahead of time so I knew exactly what to expect (i.e. tight parking along the street). She was quick to respond and incredibly welcoming, not just when I checked in, but every day I arrived back from work. I would happily book again!

It is close and walking in wasn’t an issue, but it is removed enough from the campus to keep it calm and relaxing. You can also easily walk to all that Fells point has to offer. The room was cozy and comfortable, and the was host fun, inviting, and altogether great. I will stay here again when I am back in Baltimore.

She is by far the most gracious host I’ve encountered. After arriving late, she walked me to find dinner and even listened to me gripe about my day, lol. She went over and beyond and I am grateful. Do yourself a favor and stay at the Shire!!
