Meeting Leo and her precious family felt like greeting old friends. She was there to welcome me upon arrival and give me a run down of the house. She was accessible for when I felt like chatting or had questions, but lent privacy when I desired. The room was exactly as described: comfy bed, comfortable ambient temperature, plenty of closet/storage place. By shutting the two doors separating the bedroom from the kitchen and living area, noise was never a problem! The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes and other essentials (microwave, french press), bathroom was clean, front (and back!) porch great for lounging. The Eco-friendly practices (recycling, compost, glass over plastic) were aplenty and appreciated. The location was wonderful. Less than 1 minute from a bus stop with frequent service to downtown. Many many restaurants, a coffee shop, bars within walking distance. Two grocery stores nearby. I was able to get around on foot for my month-long stay without any difficulty. Walking home late at night never felt unsafe. When visiting Portland in the future, I wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else. Thank you, sweet Leo!
