The listing actually underrates Shane's place. True enough, the 2nd flr room is lovely; there are views and a big closet. The whole house is very clean and orderly. The shared bath upstairs is clean and neat with an excellent new shower and plenty of hot water. The kitchen is spacious, welcoming and a pleasure to cook in. The basement laundry's easy to use. Shane's house seems like a very sane place, well-ordered and attractively renovated. He generously allows guests to pick fruits and vegetables from his garden, a real plus for the Summer visitor. Before I arrived he told me about the public transit app which made riding the convenient buses and light rail even easier. He's a cordial unobtrusive host who keeps the house clean and welcoming. Friends who visited me there from the HI hostel 5 miles away said Shane's place compared well in all ways with their experience at HI. Having stayed here two weeks I'm confortable in recommending the place enthusiastically to one person or a couple seeking a quist, clean, safe, attractive and friendly place to stay with convenient bus/MAX access. It's also within 15 minutes from PDX airport by taxi.
