This is home. Holly Jo treats you like family and the permanent residents are all super friendly. The home is super close to Whole Foods, basically across the street. A lot of cute restaurants and bars one block down, on 28th street. 30 minute walk to downtown. Super quiet, she is sandwiched between suburban neighborhood and restaurants.
She cleans the place everyday. But if you are looking for “hotel clean,” this isn’t the place for you. It is home with a lot of trinkets and art everywhere. The kitchen is clean and there is dish soap to wash your dishes. Bathrooms are very clean. Extra soaps or lotion are there, if you forget yours!
I was there for a month, by myself and know that my Portland experience was wonderful because I stayed here!
In short, Holly Jo is a qweeeen and a Scorpio, so expect to have some good conversation in her beautiful backyard.
