My experience at Shannon's place was really pleasant, and the location made it plenty convenient. It's exactly like you see it in the pictures and I found the bed and it's multitude of pillows to be very comfortable. I was initially concerned that it would be too small - I'm 184cm tall and it was just nice.

Shannon herself is also a treasure trove of information. Talking to a fellow traveler stricken with a severe case of wanderlust was good fun. Her plethora of excellent recommendations, especially where it came to food, bordered on making my guidebook and prior research superfluous.

Would definitely recommend this place, and seeing as I left many things on my to-do list unchecked (extraneous circumstances cut my stay in Portland short by a day), I'll certainly be trying to stay here when I find the time to visit Portland again!
