Shannon was an excellent host. She provided us privacy yet was extremely response and available when we sought help and guidance. Being a previous chef, her restaurant recommendations were always on target and we loved them all. Her private back yard was a lovely place to relax and enjoy your morning coffee and socialize with others. Our first airbnb experience and we'd definitely choose to stay with Shannon again and again. The neighborhood was safe, and in close proximity to our two destinations of choice, downtown Portland and Lewis and Clark University. We loved the location and her home.
