Amy's home was very convenient for our 12:30 arrival at PDX. It took us only 10-15 minutes down 82nd to get to her home from the airport and Amy was there, up at past 1 am, waiting for us. My husband and I felt welcome and comfortable in her home and it was a good place for us to stay for a few days to take care of a few things in Portland before heading down to Corvallis and Eugene. I was able to do my emails and other online stuff in her backyard gazebo which was surrounded by a variety of summer flowering plants. It was easy to get to downtown from her place (by car via 1-84) and the MAX line on Burnside is only a few blocks away. The ethnic diversity in her neighborhood offers several choices in dining. Amy's place would be one of my choices of places to stay in Portland the next time I'm there.
