Staying at Channah's place was wonderful; she left many small things to make us feel welcome for our week-long stay, including coffee and teas, some sweets and a vase of roses. The bed and linens are very comfortable, and the space heater made the apartment cozy and warm even in cold and wet Portland weather. Some things to be aware of when you stay:
1. We didn't use the kitchen hardly at all-there are so many great restaurants within walking distance. The kitchen was well-equipped, but our willpower to make food at home was not.
2. The ceiling in this basement apartment is low. If you are taller than 6 feet, you may find it to be too low for general comfort; I thought it was fun.
3. The parking game: bringing a car and parking it for extended periods is challenging in this neighborhood. Street parking is limited to 2-4 hours during the day, and we had to set a timer to remember to go move our car. By the end of our stay, my husband had a hard time remembering which street he had parked on most recently. Generally we had to park between 1-4 blocks away from the apartment. Lots of nice houses to admire on the walks, though.

We would stay here again!
