Mari was a wonderful host. Very responsive, not at all intrusive. The place is lovely-- very clean and stocked with everything I needed for a short stay. Wonderful location-- walking distance to many of the things one thinks of as "typical Portland"- coffee, beer, vegan food, bookstores. On the day I left, there was a bike race around Ladd's Addition-- complete with costumes. Stay here-- if you can get a reservation!
