We visited Portland at a very interesting (aka sketchy) time: Covid restrictions + Riots + Homeless crisis. But we felt safe at Sharon’s house.
The location is very central, so once you park the car you can get anywhere interesting by feet/bus/train.
House has a lot of character. There’s a very nice cozy common area, but again, with Covid everyone tended to stick to their rooms mostly.
We just didn’t realize that the bathroom is shared. (It wasn’t a problem - there was no line of people or anything). And in all fairness, it was noted on Airbnb - we just missed it. So it felt like a hostel. (All I’m saying Airbnb post may be misleading in it’s general impression.)
Sharon was very nice in allowing us to use gated parking and in general communicated well with us.
