Stephanie's place was large and beautiful and well maintained. It worked well for a large group of us attending a conference in Portland. The max and the bus to the convention center are both close, and the neighborhood felt safe even late at night. We were nervous that the cats would get out, but didn't have any problems. The house is next to a pretty noisy road that was only noticeable when all the windows were open (and they were in the 100 degree weather!). The bed I slept in was super comfortable. My only complaint was that when we arrived the house smelled strongly of cleaning products/artificial cleaners and after a day or two the cat odor was fairly strong, but not too bothersome after you get used to it.
