Alex runs a rain-ready shelter in Portland and treats hosting as a neighborhood introduction, not a tour.
About this stay
Alex built the shelter to shed Portland rain and still feel like a camp under trees. The frame comes apart. The street does not flood, which Alex checked across two winters.
You are close to Alberta's shops and also close to a canopy of street trees that makes the block feel less paved than it is.
Alberta is a neighborhood street of small businesses and big trees. The shelter sits with the trees.

It rained all night and I stayed dry. The trees did the rest.
Alex explained the fly without making it a project. Felt looked-after and left alone.
Cozy and a little damp in the air, which is Portland. Bring wool socks.
