Judy is a most excellent host. The highlight - far and away - were her delicious daily home-cooked breakfasts which kept you filled up all day. Seriously, we are foodies and my wife and I were impressed every morning during our four-day stay. But beyond that, Judy has an extensive knowledge of all the shops and restaurants in her neighborhood, and most of greater Portland for that matter. We will definitely stay again in any future travels to Portland. She also has bikes for rent. Things to know: Portland has phenomenal public transit, and anyone without a car will be just fine purchasing a $5 all day unlimited transit pass which works on buses, MAX (light rail) and streetcars. Using those, you can literally get anywhere you need. Judy's house is two blocks from the bus stop which takes you straight into downtown in about 10-15 mins, dropping you two blocks from Pioneer Square. If you have a car, you can park on the street in front of Judy's house. Even though Judy's house is not huge, you feel like you have lots of privacy. Very clean, etc. We have no complaints.
