First time Airbnb user, Shannon made the process welcoming and painless with rapid communication, positively eager to offer dining and busing information. The room and her home are charming and as-described (I am 6'0" and could manage the bed with only minimal fuss). Shannon is trusting and hands-off enough that you really can "make yourself feel at home." The immediate area offers amenities and easy access to Portland's busing lines, and is a half-hour's walk from Lewis & Clark's campus. Other guests coming and going allow opportunities for conversation without preventing you from getting work done, suitable for extroverts and introverts alike. Dog was well-trained.
