My stay with Shannon exceeded my already high expectations. The neighborhood was safe, close-in and residential. Portland has many wonderful neighborhoods and this one is established with that historical charm. My room was exactly like the picture...so it was perfect! My host added greatly to my getaway experience by sharing her knowledge of Portland with me and entertaining me with several humorous stories. If I wanted complete privacy she would have faded into her life. I have discovered my perfect get-away and will positively be returning to Shannon's.
