Lori and roommate Jackie are very welcoming. The house is located in a calm neighborhood with always available street parking. The house is clean and orderly with a little backyard a vegetable garden where Lori offers fresh produce--such a delight. St. John's is a cool neighborhood and Lori's place is within walking distance of the main drag. (3-4 min) The house is also close to the Willamette River, Cathedral Park and beautiful St. John's bridge. On the other side of the bridge you will find a large mountainous forrest, majestic green canopy"s that reach for the sky. The main road meanders through an impressive green landscape that resembles a car commercial for a rugged 4wd, (although road is paved of course) While in the forrest, don't forget the old Skyline saloon and restaurant, a hidden away gem on the forrest crest with live music and ping-pong. The forrest also offers many hiking trails, popular with trekkers and joggers alike. All in all, Lori's place and St. John's neighborhood is where I would like to live if I lived in Portland. Maybe I should move?
