Although I did not have a chance to chat with Alan, his hospitality was great and my boyfriend and I loved his place! We got the entire 2nd floor, which was really one big room - super spacious and super comfy bed. The room was clean and the decor was cute! Alan was quick to answer any questions we had as well. His place is a 2 minute walk to the nearest bus station - which then takes about 20-25mins to get into downtown. I would recommend him to friends and family, and would also stay again if I find myself back in Portland! Thanks Alan!
