Laura was a great host. She offered to introduce me to Portland, but since I was visiting my daughter who is a resident, I was already familiar with a lot, so didn't need to take her up on the offer. The space was very clean, the bed comfortable, and the full kitchen as advertised. Check in was easy. Communication was easy, and although I actually did not meet Laura, which was fine since I wanted a more hands-off approach. I felt comfortable that she would have responded if I had needed anything. I would return for my next Portland visit!
