Jill and her place is simply amazing! Everything that every reviews said is true and then some. Not sure what I could say to add to it. The place is just perfect for my solo travel's needs. Definitely appreciate the washer & dryer! Also truly appreciate all of the extra amenities (and snacks!) that Jill provide. Jill is always just a text away. She was even walked with me to show me the shortcut to go to where the restaurants are (trust me, you won't be able to find it yourself). She also graciously get me some creamer for my coffee the next morning - since I didn't rent a car and wasn't sure how to get to the closest grocery store. I definitely enjoyed Mt St Helen's view from the balcony. The shower's water pressure is awesome (don't know why but that's important for me). If you're looking for a quiet place to rest, Jill's place definitely fits the bill. Very quaint and zen-filled. Having said that, public transports (two main bus lines that would take you downtown Portland) are merely 5 minutes away. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Jill's place again next time I visit Portland!
