I was in need of a place to stay to attend the conference at the Convention Center. Though Amy's place was 30 minute away from the Convention Center, the public transportation system in Portland was more than efficient for me to get around in town. Do download a few apps in advance if you are planning on using the buses and trains. You'll be able to move about like a local with TriMet TransitTracker.

And Amy, my oh my, she is like a mom you never knew you had. She is very accommodating, understanding and easy-going. I needed to leave a day early as there was a death in my family. She had no problem with it at all and treated me very kindly. She let me have the whole upstairs and yes, it was very spacious. As the other reviewers said the position of the shower can be an issue if you are a tall person, but I'm short and didn't mind sitting down to take a shower.

I will definitely consider Amy's place again when I need to go to Portland again!
