Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to meet Pamela during my and my sister's stay at her place, as she was out of town, but we did check-in with each other. Her daughter assisted with check-in (key exchange) which was very efficient, but I don't think she was there otherwise throughout our stay. Pamela's place was very nice and comfortable, very clean, and as shown in the accompanying pictures. The apt. was spacious with ample room for my sister and I to have our own separate spaces. The Google Chromecast worked well and was easy to set up. Pamela provided everything needed, including toiletries (body wash, shampoo, conditioner), as well as coffee/tea and oatmeal. The neighborhood is wonderful, quiet, residential, but really accessible to every part of Portland. My sister and I literally walked everywhere from Pamela's place (north to Peninsula Park via Williams with its bar, restaurants, etc.; south to Hawthorne and Divisions; west to downtown). If walking is not your thing, public transit is within 1 block away on either side. But there are also some great places to eat and drink within walking distance on MLK Jr. and also on Williams. This was my first trip to Portland, and I absolutely loved the city. Staying at Pamela's place made it really easy to explore the city since it was so central to all fun neighborhoods!!!
