Staying at Bryan’s housing was an American dream. It was our first time staying in the United States and if we had the chance to experience it again, we would choose the place again. For my best friend and me, the cozy studio was a welcome retreat. The amazing shower is a treat after an extensive day in Portland, and the soft bed makes for nice dreams. The neighborhood is a picturesque setting with direct views of the St. Johns Bridge, Willamette River, and treeline. The people in the area were all very friendly and if you don’t feel like taking Uber or Portland’s cheap and easy public transportation, there are a few delicious restaurants nearby that are within comfortable walking distance. Especially for anyone on a plant-based diet, there is a varied selection of both vegetarian and vegan cuisine available. Bryan was a friendly and accommodating host who reached out to us and ensured that we lacked for nothing. I highly recommend this place and must confess to missing it already.
