Meredith is a very open-minded, kind and understanding hostess. Although we arrived at her place after she left for work, she sent us a text message to make sure we made it to her house safely and where to find the key. She also wrote a nice note for our arrival and encouraged us to be at home. :-)
Her living room is decorated in a simplistic, Bohemian style (small plants, vintage items, vinyl records, etc.) with a couch and tv and we had a decent-sized bedroom with a queen bed. The area in which her home was located was also safe, peaceful and a much-appreciated getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.
We were also given great advice from Meredith about public transit and recommendations for stores to visit. Her home is very close to the 35 TriMet bus stop, which will get you to the downtown Portland area in about 15 minutes. You can transfer to other buses or the Max light rail once you reach the downtown area. For all other places, Uber is likely a good alternative.
She also shared a Portland Finder magazine, which aided us a LOT in planning what we wanted to do, where we wanted to eat, etc. each day we were there. She has a variety of newspapers, magazines, etc. available to aid travelers in their Portland journey.
We appreciated her hospitality and would recommend her home to others! :-)
