Ann is a great host, and so is here place! We received a personal welcome with a great introduction to her place and everything that is included (there is free tea & coffee)!
The are Ann's house is located is just perfect if you want to get to downtown Portland with public transport. There is also lot's of bars and restaurants right on Hawthorne and probably the best (and most unique) coffee place you've ever been to - ask Ann about it! :)
