Jere's apartment was absolutely perfect - just as described, and just what I was looking for (it was actually quite a bit more spacious than even the photos indicate). I had no trouble getting to her place from the airport, and found the neighborhood really comfortable and full of things to walk to (in particular, it was only a 5min or so walk up the street to a terrific grocery store, so I could pick up a few healthy items to keep in the apartment mini-fridge during my stay). Jere herself is a lovely individual and, in addition to making sure I didn't need anything, she offered all the knowledge she had about questions that came up regarding my itinerary (how and where best to rent a car, how to navigate the local bus lines). This was my first time to Portland and it was a truly great experience, thanks in large part to Jere and her accommodations.
