Shannon was the perfect host giving us a warm and friendly welcome with loads of information about her home and the area then sitting back and allowing us privacy. She was available for chats and I really enjoyed her company. Her home is stunning with lots of nooks for relaxing and space to interact (or not) with other guests. She included loads of great perks such as fresh ground coffee and a super cute doggie! The bedrooms were lovely with piles of books, fresh towels and lots of space to hang out. Great water pressure. Ten minutes from downtown and parking on street was safe and easy. The perfect Portland escape! I visit Portland regularly and will check Shannon's calendar first in future. Thanks Shannon!
