Myself +1 (my wife) had a great time staying with Ashley and her animal companions. The room was great - no one was ever too hot or too cold. (Although there was a room conditioner and an extra blanket if needed.)
Ashley was extremely pleasant to book/coordinate with, and responded to messages quickly (I wish I could say the same about myself...). Her home is in a great, quiet, walk-able neighborhood that is very close to just about anything you could want to see or do, and easy to drive out of if you want to go somewhere a little farther.
I'm pretty quiet - our host didn't press us or make us feel uncomfortable in any way. I appreciate that. We rarely saw each other and when we did, it was always easy-going - not awkward or weird. We came out to see a show and she didn't mind that we came home pretty late that night.
I'm independent, so I didn't ask for adventure ideas or places to eat, but I get the feeling that Ashley would know quite a bit about what to do in the area if you're in need of recommendations.
I had a great time! Thank you again - it made the trip a memorable first-time-in-Portland experience!
