My son and I made a weekend road trip to Portland and stayed at Gwen's place, it was the perfect base camp for our foray's into the city. Nice private basement apartment with everything you can need. Gwen had left a note as well as many special touches (it was my son's birthday). Also, creamer in the fridge for coffee as well as several breakfast options. Gwen was super hospitable, introduced herself and showed us the apartment upon arrival, but allowed us privacy too. Apartment was within minutes of downtown and the local food cart scene. Even trips out to Forest Park were no more than a 15 minute drive. Would highly recommend Gwen's apartment for your stay in Portland!
