Meredith is both a wonderful host and a great host! The room is spacious and comfortable - but more than that her space is inviting and decorated with personality. I fell in love with the plants and her vast record collection. The location is a bit out of reach if you're trying to get to Southeast and Downtown, but never more than a 15 min drive. She has a solid collection of magazines as well if you're looking for a guide to Portland. Overall made my first time in Portland one to remember and I can't wait to revist.
