Shannon's above-garage apartment, tucked away in a private alley in a quiet neighborhood, was exactly what my husband and I needed for our two-night stay in Portland. The studio apartment was stylish and adequately stocked, providing basic bathroom and kitchen essentials (shampoo and soap, coffee and tea, etc.). Shannon was very communicative and provided easy, accurate instructions for self check-in. She also was able to accommodate an early check-in, which was much appreciated. The only downsides to the apartment were lack of access to a washer/dryer and a "more modern" TV. We had been traveling for about a week before arriving, so we did miss having a washer/dryer available. Also, after long days, we wished we had a smart TV with access to our Netflix account and/or a TV with more channels (the TV is basic with just a few channels). Overall, however, we had everything we needed for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. If back in Portland, we would return in a heartbeat!
