I had a terrific time staying at Pamela's place! Their basement apartment is in a great location (a very easy walk to both the 6 and 4 bus lines). The bed was super comfortable (no problems sleeping at all), and the neighborhood was beautiful with lots of mature trees. There are several very good restaurants within just a few blocks, as well as two coffee shops (one serves Stumptown; the other Caffe Vita, for those who need to know this sort of info!).

There were lovely welcoming touches at Pamela's place, like Ghirardelli chocolates and wine, as well as popcorn and oatmeal + a hot water kettle. She even provided a french press and coffee, though I didn't have an occasion to use it. There were also plenty of extra pillows and blankets, which came in handy when the temperature got a little chilly overnight.

I didn't get to interact with Pamela and her husband a ton because I was pretty busy, but they were both lovely to chat with when I did get a chance. I would absolutely stay here again if circumstances bring me back to Portland.
