Dawn was a great host for our trip to Portland. She was very laid back and easy to talk to when we did cross paths. Her home was beautiful inside and out and the neighborhood was really friendly. We were able to take a quick 10 minute walk to the train every day to get into downtown Portland. Perfect location far enough away from the city center for some peace and quiet at night, but close enough to get into the action easily. The listing is accurate for the space provided. Having a private bathroom to ourselves was a big plus. I would highly recommend staying with Dawn and her daughter if you find yourself in the Portland area. Also, to address something other people have mentioned in the reviews, Dawn and her daughter do live in the house you'll be staying in with them while you're visiting. Why anyone would complain or expect a host to tiptoe around their own home or put their life on hold to accommodate their guests is beyond me. Yes, you will hear some bustle in the morning as Dawn and her daughter get ready for the day but I wouldn't expect anything less staying in someone's private home. If you want a private hotel room, you can pay triple and stay elsewhere. We will most certainly be back in with Dawn if we find ourselves back in Portland any time soon.
