The room is much larger than I expected from the photographs. The location was positively perfect! My boyfriend and I were able to walk, take transit, or rent a car2go and get anywhere we wanted to be super quickly. We spent a lot of time exploring Boise Eliot, Williams St, and Mississippi St., because they were within an incredibly brief walk and had tons of awesome restaurants, coffee shops, stores, and bars to explore. The room was clean and home-y, and had everything we needed. We were a little bit chilly, but it was an uncharacteristically cold weekend for Portland. Jere also had extra blankets and plush robes we could have used. Jere picked us up from the MAX station when we arrived, and allowed us to leave our bags after check-out so we could explore more before heading back to the airport. She was incredibly kind and accommodating, and we also got to really have alone time. The room is entirely independent from her living space. Really the only semi-negative thing I have to say is that the water pressure in the shower wasn't fantastic (not bad! I just like a lot of pressure) and that the shower drained really slowly so there was standing water while I showered. The bathroom was so clean though that it didn't really bother me. She has tons of guidebooks in the room and tea, coffee, and snacks available for guests. My boyfriend and I had a fantastic stay and will certainly be back to stay with Jere again! She was a gracious host with a beautiful, cozy space to offer! :)
