As a first time visitor to Portland, I had no idea what neighborhood I should stay in. I was looking for something somewhat quiet and within walking distance to eateries and shopping. DIna's house fit the bill. The neighborhood is really quiet and you are within a 10 minute walk down to restaurants etc. You are also within spitting distance of Mt Tabor which provides some good views.

The apartment itself was clean and modern. Dina provides everything you need to cook a meal or two if you get tired of eating out. The bed is comfortable with adequate linens. The floor gets a little chilly so you might need socks.

Dina offered to provide recommendations on all things Portland. She was also very accommodating when I arrived well before the time I quoted her.
