I had a great stay with Meredith in NE Portland this summer! Meredith is a super relaxed and friendly host, very communicative and welcoming. She checked in, but wasn't overbearing -- I appreciated the time and space to quietly unwind after a long day. The house is cute and funky, which made me feel right at home being from Austin. The location is quiet, but it's in a really great neighborhood and it's easy to get around if you have a car. I recommend checking out nearby Alberta Street for great restaurants and shopping.
