Enjoyed my stay at Shane's house very much and would consider that option again. I so appreciated having laundry facilities and a delightful dog around, and the location is great. The bed in the basement room is comfy, the big desk and hanger space are nice, and it was quite a cool space on Portland's hottest days. I liked the cleanliness of the bedroom and bathroom, and the key code made access quick & easy. I liked that being here just felt easy altogether.
Being a light sleeper, i was glad i had earplugs when people were walking around upstairs at night. Ideally there'd be a sink or toilet in the basement, but i didn't feel as inconvenienced by this lack as i might have expected. Overall an excellent site, run by a sweet person who always seems to be working on making it even better. I'd definitely recommend it to friends.
