Michelle's place is adorable! The home decor and outside "patio" is a tiny dream. The place is in a residential neighborhood about a $20 (around 15-20 mins) from downtown Portland so not the most ideal location if you want to be close to the popular shops and restaurants. I went in winter and it was really cold (even on the inside of the house) and the bed was not the most comfortable but I also should mention I am from Miami and not used to icy temperatures. Overall, I would recommend this place to someone coming on a short trip who doesn't mind the distance. Michelle was a super nice host and this garage-turned-house is the cutest.
