Jere's Place was wonderful and we really enjoyed her and her husband's hospitality. It's a nice house in a lovely neighborhood not far from downtown (we even walked there several times). The room has everything you might need and is super-cozy, really nicely done. Communication was really easy and Jere was super-helpful, both with tips for the city and with helping us out with some issues on our trip here. Portland is a wonderful city, and this is the perfect starting point.
