Ben was a perfect host! He helped us get back to our room and gave us some good trip suggestions. The Ben provides are accurate. It's a clean, spacious, and room with access to the washer dryer. The bathroom is very spacious too, as a woman, I loved that. He gave us access to the back yard which has a little garden that he is growing, super cute and the weather was really nice in August so we enjoyed it greatly. I forgot my blow dryer and messaged him in the middle of my 1st day there and he quickly responded to let me know that I didn't need to buy one, it was provided in the room. If you are in Portland on vacation, just walk 3 blocks down to the rail line from Ben's place and take it to downtown, use Uber for all other short trips, no need to rent a car at all. We took a tour that we found on viator.com of the Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood and it was wonderful.

Summing it up, Ben's place is an even better experience than staying at a hotel. I would stay again. Thank you Ben!
