I love Shane's place! He has a nice house...I think he did an excellent job fixing up his place and did a great job with the decoration. The place was kept clean and tidy. I didn't get a chance to meet Shane personally because he was out of town but Kel (who was in charged while Shane was away) took care of me upon arrival and helped me take my luggage up to my room (very nice of her!). If you rent a car (like I did) there are street parking so you don't have to worry about not having somewhere to park your car. The neighbors pretty much mind their own business. There are a few restaurants/bars and a 7-Eleven store within walking distance if you feel like strolling a few blocks. And there are tons of other restaurants/bars within a five to seven minutes drive if you feel like exploring out just a bit farther. And downtown, the Pearl District and Alphabet District is a mere 12 minutes drive...or just catch an Uber or a Lyft, they are literally everywhere and can get to you in a few minutes from the house. Overall I've had a great experience!
