Lori greeted us when we arrived and showed us around the basement apartment. She was very kind. There were little notes and reminders/pointers on notes in the unit which I found helpful (for example, which remotes control which devices). Lori's lab, Podji, is adorable and very sweet. The highlight for us and our doggie was the backyard, which is very spacious and fully fenced. I recommend Lori's place for a stay in Portland and would return!
