Bryan is an excellent host. He is friendly, organized and respected our privacy. He made it clear that he was available if we had questions or concerns. His studio was very comfortable. The room was well appointed and looks just like the photos he published. The bed was also comfortable. We had no problem finding street parking. The internet worked well. The alley can get a little noisy early in the morning, so I just advise closing the window. As other people have noted, the alley is not well lit at night. We look forward to revisiting Portland and will definitely stay at Bryan’s place again!
