Anastasia met me when I arrived and we had a nice chat as she showed me the room and the shared bathroom. The room was exactly as the photos depicted it, very inviting and friendly. The bedding was nice and warm, which allowed me to sleep with the window open and still feel cosy. The house is located in a nice old neighbourhood that is a very short walk from public transit, nice restaurants, shopping, and the convention centre. The streetlights don't really light up the streets at night, though, which made me a little uncomfortable when walking back home after a long day. Considering I do a lot of solo-travelling all over the world, I was surprised that this was a concern for me, but it was my first visit to Portland and I really didn't know anything about the city or the neighbourhood where I was staying. The room came with three pillows, which allowed me to choose the one that was most comfortable for me (a nice perk). The neighbourhood and the residents of the house were very quiet (yes, even the chihuahuas and the chickens!). Anastasia also provided a fresh set of towels halfway through my stay, which was unexpected and very nice. I loved that it was a short walk to and from the convention centre every day. I had a transit pass and only ended up needing it once.
