I enjoyed having a corner of the house with a bedroom and bath to myself. It made it physically and energetically quiet when I was doing my own thing. I found the space comfortable and easy to settle into. Crystal and Ricardo were very kind to make sure I was set up and to make me feel welcomed.
The bus line was just on the corner, two houses down. Super convenient and a bargain if you want to get a day/week pass on the transit system and skip the hassle of driving and parking. Check out the Portland transit system online to get electronic tickets! I used it to go down to the Alberta district for great places to dine and poke into unique and charming shops.
The other nice thing about this place is there's a Safeway supermarket just 1/2 mile away. Crystal and Ricardo were gracious about letting me keep some things in their frig. It was nice to have simple things to put a quick breakfast together.
I'm grateful for Crystal and Ricardo being gracious hosts and making my travels pleasant and homey feeling.
