John was an excellent host: He accepted us last minute, late at night to which we are extremely grateful for. He knows a lot about the area as a local himself and recommended a few incredible spots to check out. He can also give you a quick breakdown about some of the history in Oregon which was very informative and interesting. There were 3 lovely cats that always greeted us and were plenty affectionate. We enjoyed the location as it was within walking distance from all the shops and eateries in the Northeast neighborhood of Portland. It was definitely more of a guys pad but John made us feel welcome regardless.
