Ben's place is perfect for getting that neighborhood feel, but still having easy access to the max. We ate breakfast every morning at cup and saucer, enjoyed late dinners at swift and union, and most importantly had some of the best coffee and stroopwafels in Portland at prince coffee. All this was within a few blocks of his place. The bed is super comfortable and we watched viceland every night while we planned for the next day's adventure. I've stayed with Ben twice now and I would definitely recommend him to anyone that wants to check out Portland.
