Shannon's home is wonderful! With so many adorable curios and a wonderful backyard, it provides a very comfortable and cute place to stay in Portland. It's located fairly close to downtown and neighborhoods we wanted to explore, so having a car was helpful, but public transportation seems fairly easy in the city as well. My only regret is that Shannon was out of town for my stay. I so looked forward to her local advice. Nonetheless, I had a delightful stay in her gorgeous home. Highly recommended!
