Shane was very great at communicating with me before my stay. Unfortunately he was out of town when I was in Portland, but his friend Anna was a great house host in his stead.

What drew me to this adorable home was the fact that many solo travelers were staying in other private rooms throughout the house. I had the pleasure of meeting a friendly lawyer from Finland, a photographer from the east coast, and even a woman from my home in Chicago!

Shane's home was tidy, organized, and just as described. The other guests were also very considerate and friendly to everyone in all the shared spaces.

I recommend Shane's house for those who enjoy traveling solo and meeting new folks from all over the globe.
