My stay with Jody was great. I had a comfortable ensuite at the back of her house. The room was comfortable and I slept well. It was quiet, more so than I had expected, given the location and her mention of "street noise" in the description. The only noise I noticed was the occasional cawing of those Portland crows, which seem to be everywhere! It was in the 90's during my stay, and Jody offered me a room air conditioner, but I was comfortable at night with fresh air from the open, screened window. The room also has a ceiling fan, which was nice. Jody very thoughtfully stocked the medicine cabinet with some basic supplies, and I used some of the sun screen, which I had not thought to pack. She also supplied toiletries in the shower for quests who may have forgotten theirs. I didn't really avail myself of the refrigerator or dining room, but I did use the coffee maker and complimentary coffee a few times. She also has stocked the dining room with maps, guide books and tourist information for guests to use during their stay. The private entrance is convenient for early departures and late arrivals. The location was good for my visit with my daughter, and the neighborhood is pleasant. It is a short walk to the "Kennedy School" for coffee and a pastry, and only a bit further to New Seasons Market, which has a hot breakfast bar, deli, and a refrigerator case of prepared foods like sandwiches and salads--good for picking up food for picnic lunches. I recommend Jody's house, and will request to stay with her again if I need lodging in NE Portland.
