This was my first trip to Portland and my first time using airbnb, and I couldn't be happier with the outcomes! Shane's "perfectly cozy bedroom" was a wonderful place to return to each evening and wake up in each morning! The house had a very welcoming feel and was centrally located for walking around the Alberta Arts district, quickly getting into Downtown Portland (and other neighborhoods) and heading out to Hood River and the Columbia River Gorge. Staying in a neighborhood definitely gave me a better sense of what living in Portland is like. Shane was a great host - very knowledgeable about the area and easy to get in touch with both before arriving and during my stay. Thank you, thank you, thank you Shane!
