Liz was a fantastic host; a Portland-proud host with a knowledge of the industry and how to be a proper host. I had a very crazy schedule on the day that I arrived, but she worked with me to ensure that I was able to drop of my things whilst assuring me that my plans in arriving back late at night / early in the morning would not be disruptive; I did however check before to make sure that would be okay, so you may want to contact her out of respect to make sure that she can accommodate your random travel arrangements as well.
The space was as advertised, very nice, quaint upstairs with plenty of room and light. Any issues, of which were basically nil save for random questions and one minor issue, were answered within a very short window of time; and the one issue that I had / about which I inquired an open window that I could not get shut and it was about to rain, was handled, again, almost within the hour and before the rain. I will say this again, but for the value relative to the location, amount of space, and ease with which was in dealing with Liz, it is very hard to beat; even for those wanting to be on the West side / Downtown, the neighborhood, whilst indeed the East side of the river, is a short drive or a cheap Uber ride and is within walking distance, or again, a short drive or cheap Uber ride, to many great local businesses and restaurants; Liz will tell you about them should you be inclined to listen.
Liz was there during my stay, and despite valuing my privacy, it was great to interact with her and her friends; they were respectful, few in number (i.e., there were no noise issues with the small, consistent group's (in both number and identity) comings / goings and their hours, when they did visit, were not late); there was a mutual respect of space, something of which Liz was very cognizant and made clear, so the balance of time that I spent in the common areas stay with her friends were the perfect ratio of privacy whilst interacting with good people. And should you want to be left alone, Liz, will no doubt respect that as well.
This is a welcoming space that is well-appointed, has a great lived-in feel, complete with a host who is exceptionally communicative / responsive, accommodating, and overall, very good people. This is not the Ritz or a boutique hotel, but there are times when those will not do are needed. And as I said, for the value relative to the price and location is great.
