Courtney's house is a very comfortable and relaxing place to stay. Myself, my partner, and a friend were in town to do a not-fun job (cleaning out my dad's garage after he passed away this summer), and coming home to a cozy, warm, and comfortable home was exactly what we needed after every long workday. Waking up and sipping coffee while looking at the backyard chickens and bunnies was also truly lovely. There's also some great stuff in the neighborhood: we ordered pizza from a local place called Otto's about 3 nights in a row because we were so exhausted, and it was fantastic. We got great coffee and breakfast sandwiches at the local coffee shop, Kainos. There were a number of other places nearby that we wanted to try but unfortunately didn't have time for.
I think Courtney's place is a great home base for a trip to Portland!
