We had a fantastic stay at Bens place. Was even nicer than the pictures showed, great for a couple of people. While Ben wasn't there at all, he was more than happy to give us tips on where to eat and drink around his area. Location was fantastic, plenty of options for food and drink, quiet, safe neighborhood, walkable distance to the Moda center and 10 minutes by car to the middle of downtown. We will definitely try to stay with Ben next time we are in Portland
