This room in Nannette's home was perfect for my month-long stay in Portland. A comfortable bed, great desk for remote work, lots of closet space, a stocked kitchen, and the most beautiful backyard garden with delicious grapes growing overhead on the back patio! In shared spaces, small touches really matter, so having my own shelf in the bathroom medicine cabinet and my own cabinet in the kitchen really made me feel at home.
Nannette had great neighborhood tips as I was apartment-hunting for a future move, including a bar that became a gem for watching Olympics. She was friendly and communicative throughout, making for a place where you feel very warm and welcome but can also have privacy when you need it.
The house is on a quiet street, just a few blocks walk from fun and food on Hawthorne (try Tabor Bread), Division (food cart pod on 50th), or Belmont, as well as the incredible Mt Tabor Park. I had more than a few takeout dinners up there, enjoying the quiet and watching the sky change colors at sunset. (The wooded trails and staircases also make for a killer workout.)
I would happily stay here again and can't recommend it enough!
