Pam is a wonderful host. I stayed at Pam's house for 3 months while on a work assignment. Pam's house is close to everything while giving you the comfort of being tucked away in the city. Public transportation is a very short walk away. Grocery stores, drug stores and coffee shops are in walking distance. Pam is all about giving you the space you want or hanging out with you which ever you prefer. Pam's knowledge about the surrounding history and great outdoor experiences is a treasure in its own. If I ever find myself back in Portland, Pam's place is my number one choice of places to stay. I highly recommend staying at Pam's house you won't be disappointed.
