I absolutely couldn't recommend Shane's place any more. Shane is an incredibly welcoming and communicative host, and the house is great with all the amenities you'd need including a big kitchen and washer and dryer in the basement. The room is a good size too and has a big desk if you need to do some work.
The house is right beside Alberta St which has everything you'd need in terms of restaurants, bars and food trucks, and the bus to downtown leaves from only a five minute walk away. This place is certainly an affordable gem in a great area of Portland and I will for sure be hoping to stay here again if I get a chance to come back in the future.
