We had a great stay in Ryan’s basement studio. It was everything that we needed in our first visit to Portland. It was close to bars, restaurants, coffee shops and breweries (some walkable, many bikeable, however, we had a rental car). The street parking was not a problem as there were many spots available at all times. The house itself was in a quiet neighborhood and Ryan was quick to respond to all of our inquiries, even though he himself was on vacation with his family. He also gave us great tips on breweries and hikes and had a binder with many other useful suggestions.
One thing we were worried about was being in a basement, however, it had tons of natural light and regular lights throughout the studio where it really didn’t feel like it. The temperature stayed constant even with a 90 degree day outside. We hope to visit again soon and would definitely stay here again! We already suggested it to a friend that is planning on visiting the city soon.
