Firstly, Joy was an absolute joy! She was warm, welcoming, accommodating - everything you could ever want in a host! She and her family were helpful in giving us restaurant recommendations (Baan Thai is the bomb dot com) and places to explore around Portland! The room and bathroom my friend and I rented from her home were fully equipped with shampoo, towels, a large bed, etc. Also, the view from her balcony was BREATHTAKING. The view from the early morning and the view from the late night was wholly enjoyable. Everything on the description is accurate! Lastly, as everyone has mentioned, the 203 steps (I counted) that lead up to her home could be seen as a deterrent or a welcome sign! People who don't like stairs, beware. People who don't mind stairs and love a beautiful, lush, green, scenic walk, enjoy! The next time I visit Portland, I will hit up Joy once again! Thanks again, Joy and family!
