Amy's space is the best option for visiting Portland. It's within walking distance to direct train service to Downtown and local attractions, but in a walkable, friendly neighborhood that holds in own with great amenities, shops, and restaurants. Need a car for a few hours or a day? A Zipcar location is a 12-minute walk away with all-wheel drive vehicles present for only a few bucks per hour. In a time in which the urban core of Portland (far from this area/home) is going through some struggles, staying a bit further away and in a calm sanctuary-like space is a clear winner. Even when the core returns to normal, this space will shine. The Woodstock neighborhood is safe, full of greenery, with nice residents, and the most spacious Trader Joe's I have ever seen. Amy's foodie status (ah, what delicious quiche's- major thanks for the breakfast hookup), the cool touches of the airy space-including a heated bathroom floor- seal the deal. I would love to return to Amy's space for future visits to Portland.
