Bryan's in-law is pretty cute and chic. I think it has the cutest washer and dryer I've ever used! The space itself is well laid out for working away from home, and if you've never been to Portland before, the Nob Hill neighborhood is a safe and easy place to venture from. You don't have to go far if you're just chilling. Nob Hill has its own Salt and Straw, it's own Tea Chai Té, and lots of yummy places to eat. The Dragonfly Coffee House and St. Honoré are real gems too, and just 5 minutes away. There was good walking, and so many flowers in the spring. It was nice and quiet at night. Visiting and staying at Bryan's place was a super-chill, almost like a staycation.
For folks from other cities, if you're going farther around town, the fact that Bryan's place is only ONE *street* block from the 15 and 77 bus lines is especially great if you're without a car. The Portland buses are safe, generally on-time, work well with the Transit app, and don't need a special card anymore, they just take any old tap-capable credit card, and you automatically get a day pass if you use it a second time after the first tap expires.
