We loved everything about our stay here! Joy was extremely welcoming, and was very prompt to reply to any questions we had and offer recommendations. The view is GORGEOUS- you can see virtually all of downtown Portland from here- and the price of the room was economic enough that my husband and I (both students) could afford our three-night stay. It is very close to downtown but also tucked away in the forest, making it feel somewhat exotic and like a private natural haven.
I will definitely recommend Joy's place to friends and family visiting Portland. :)
