This is a comfy apartment in a lovely old home. The neighborhood is residential, scenic, and safe, but there's public transportation, good food, and shopping nearby. I was traveling from Montana with my daughter and her three-year-old, and Jennifer made us feel very welcome with a note and treats. My daughter used to live in Portland, and her brother and cousin are still there, so we didn't need to bother Jennifer for suggestions. However, she provides a good guestbook for people who don't know the city. We walked to OMSI and took the bus and the MAX to the zoo. A great trip, made better by this nice, reasonably-priced place.
