Evan's house is SO COOL! The room was really unusual and very comfortable. The bed was delicious! And Evan greeted me so warmly and scooped up my suitcase and carried it up the stairs for me! He walked me through the space and answered any questions. He introduced me to his mom and friends and I felt very comfortable right away. The house is in a great neighborhood with lots of interesting architecture and there were restaurants and cafes in every direction so there's everything you could want right nearby. I had a car, so downtown Portland was easily accessible and I could park on the street. I was so beat from the long drive when I arrived, but I plopped down in a huge comfy chair and enjoyed the sunset from my very own balcony. What a great place!
