This is a perfect place for solo female travelers. It is really a sanctuary, very peaceful and quiet place not to mention it was spotless. I truly think the photos don’t do it justice as Brenda has made this place truly special with her thoughtful touches. I have to say staying at Brenda’s really make my Portland visit special. And even though the place cant speak by itself as its a beautiful and cozy home with all the amenities you can ask for including a mini fridge in your room with drinks and snacks. The best part of this experience is Brenda as she is a very warm and welcoming person and the most outstanding hostess. She is very communicative and makes sure you are comfortable at her house.She really goes above and beyond to make you feel like home. She picked me up and dropped me off at the airport and took me to my interview at OSHU. I arrived late and she made sure I had dinner and took me to this amazing pub with a fireplace outside that had amazing food and beer. She made me coffee every morning and had breakfast all set up for me to grab. She has great tips for the city as she is an true Oregonian so make sure you ask her where to go. Last but not least she has a great personality and is really outgoing. She is a world-traveler and a great person to have a conversation with. I can only say this was perfect and fun. I would recommend this place without any reservations and I will definitely stay here If I come back again.
