It was great to meet Anna and Akira. I didn't get to actually sit and converse with them because of my schedule but the short time I did during the evenings when I returned they were really personable and friendly. They have a really friendly young dog (Orla), currently 8 months old. She loves to meet and greet folks in the house.
The room itself is as described. Think of it as a smaller master bedroom (with access to a full kitchen). I'd would love to stay here again if I need to be in the Portland region.
There are a couple of tables set up in your room. More than ample space to set up your electronics and such.
I drove on this trip but I did see some bus stops on the main street near Anna's home. Parking was readily available in the neighborhood.
Take note of Anna's recommendation of eating places. Try it out if you have a chance. A supermarket and restaurants are within walking distance also.
Overall, great folks!!!, great location, great price range.
