Taizz was a wonderful host. I felt comfortable almost immediately as she offered me tea or coffee upon my arrival and showed me around her beautiful house. Her backyard is a wonderful piece of wildlife in a quiet, peaceful location.

The room I had had a nice bed with some great pillows and there was water left in a pitcher in the room, which was appreciated. There's also a variety of continental breakfast options available and Taizz was very considerate throughout my visit, offering food, conversation, and great tips about Portland.

So it's probably a great place to hang put and relax but if you want to get out, her place is only a quick walk to public transit that will take you around Portland. It was also quite easy to get around by walking, if you have time. Taizz also has bikes, which I didn't use, but which would be a great way to get around much of the area.

Overall, a great experience!
