We were scrambling last minute for a place to stay in Portland, and Noel and Tanja provided us with a comfortable room. The neighborhood is fantastic, the basement rec room is fun, and they have put together a great binder to help with food and sightseeing. If you like cats, they also have 2 welcoming resident guests! If you don't like cats, they are not intrusive, just friendly. We stayed in the room above the basement and it was very nice and comfortable. You will need to plan for your own breakfasts.
