My boyfriend and I were first time participants in the Air B&B community and were really impressed with our first experience. We stayed with Shane for a few days around the Fourth of July. He kept an open line of communication with us on our arrival day in order to make sure he was around to get us set up, offered us keys to both the house and our private room, and gave us some great recommendations on everyting from where to watch the fireworks to where to grab a killer breakfast nearby. The house and our room were clean and nicely decorated and the other two permanent housemates there were friendly and respectful. We brought our bikes up with us, and found most of Portland to be very accessible via bicycle from our spot off of Alberta Street. There were also a bunch of great little places to grab a bite to eat or drink right nearby in the Alberta district. Admittedly we were not home much since we were out exploring, but I really can't think of anything that could have been improved about our stay. Thanks for being a wonderful host Shane!
