Kit was very gracious and helpful. The place was funkier than I expected, kind of like a college-student rooming house, but quite clean (she's a health care worker and would be that way). The neighborhood is also funky like a lot of old ones in Portland, sort of post-hippie, early-gentrification stage. Good urban amenities in walking distance. Mostly quiet, though just a block off a major street. One caveat is security--windows left open--which was quasi-necessary in hot weather since there's no air conditioning--and no lock on the bedroom door.
