Staying at Ben's place was a fantastic experience. He greeted us as soon as we arrived and gave us a little tour of the suite as well as a rundown of the TV remote (it works!... kinda). Other than that he was super respectful of our privacy. He had a few books and magazines with things to do in the Portland area out on a table, the bed was super comfy, and he's in a cute part of town with several shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance.
