Jere and her family were wonderful warm hosts. I rented the room in conjunction with a out-of-state move to Portland. Jere went out of her way to help me acclimate and get settled. She gave me maps, walked with me on one occasion from my office downtown to the house, picked me up from work one day when she happened to be downtown, invited and drive me to several hiking meetup activities, and she and her son even helped me move a bed into my new place! Beyond that, we enjoyed tea and good conversation, and she answered multiple questions about Portland! The room itself was perfect and clean, and the neighborhood was peaceful. It was a great experience overall, and I'm grateful to have found it and to have met Jere! I highly recommend it to visitors and settlers alike. Thank you, Jere!!!
