If you need a place to stay in Portland, I would highly recommend staying with Deb! Two friends and I recently stayed with her and had a wonderful time. Her home is warm, welcoming and spacious, and Deb was more than happy to answer our questions and recommend good restaurants, sights, parking, etc. Her cat, Teddy, is quite the little co-host, and we rather enjoyed his presence, as well :) Deb is friendly and helpful, and our overall stay was fantastic. Thanks again, Deb!
