My husband and I along with my parents were in Portland as my dad was running the marathon - Suzy's sweet bright, and cheerful, artsy home (and charming yard) was a perfect landing spot for us. Not only that, but Suzy's interaction was gracious and welcoming. She was flexible and accommodating, allowing us to stay an extra night at the last minute, and went the extra mile to be sure we had everything we needed. On a side note, the St. John's neighborhood has a sweet, charming and it's own artsy vibe with fantastic restaurants - several are less than half a mile from Suzy's home. We were all grateful to make memories together in such a comfy, lovely space and area.
