Perfect location for time at Dharma Rain Zen Center. Vicky and I had a wonderful talk in the evening and I felt very at home sharing and interacting with her grandsons; fun.
Space was large and bed comfortable, with desks and couches for comfort and tables to give space to put my items. I didn't hear anything from upstairs so very quiet. Its in a half basement, so hard to get to windows for fresh air, but it can be done if I'd thought of it before I went to bed.
It was helpful to have a refrigerator, sink and kitchen appliances downstairs for my use and (since I don't use microwaves) I appreciated Vicky letting me use her stove upstairs to heat my dinner.
Space has its own bathroom, mostly very clean and with interesting cross-stitch art on the walls that I enjoyed studying (since I've just started doing cross-stitch myself). Towels were thick and large enough for a wrap, luxurious.
Because my system is very sensitive to chemicals, I was a little uncomfortable with the smell left on the sheets from washing but I don't think it would bother most people. I slept well because it was dark and quiet, the most quiet of the 7 places I've stayed in Portland. I think the green natural hill in the next block really helped me feel I was almost in the country. I didn't hear any traffic at all, a nice surprise.
