Shannon is great, which I'm sure you've already noticed based on previous reviews. If she invites you to go with her somewhere, just follow blindly because it's going to be worth your while.
The house is exactly how you'd imagine it to be and has a very wonderful energy. I felt like I'd lived there all my life.
The neighborhood is perfect because it's quiet and quaint, but has easy access to all the areas of Portland (I was there for an internship at OHSU). I've been home for two days and I'm already itching to get back.
The other guests who come to stay are usually pretty interesting. And as an extended stay it was exciting to have so many new people from all walks of life coming in to share the experience with you.
