I loved staying at Lisa’s place. The studio apartment in her basement is cozy and homey, with enough space not to feel at all cramped. She is kind and accommodating, she even offered to let me and my sister drop our bags at her house hours before the check in time so we wouldn’t have to carry them around town. I enjoyed starting my morning with a cup of coffee, sitting on her back patio and listening to the local birds. It was easy enough to take public transport downtown or to grab a lyft to other areas. I would definitely consider staying here again if I return to Portland!
