Everything you might have read in the other glowing reviews is wholly accurate. I would add that the bed was super comfy, the room has the largest collection of materials on Portland's restaurants, attractions, culture, hikes, everything. You can plan your whole stay from an insider's view. Judy was out of town for my first few days, and she prepared well for my arrival and stay in her home without her, so I felt wholly welcome. I then thoroughly enjoyed my one breakfast and morning conversation with her. Judy shines as a gem.
