Lucia is a lovely and accommodating host, and the room is definitely among the cheapest available in Portland. The buses run just outside, and if you have the time for 45-minute+ rides each way, they'll save you some money getting into the city. I took Lyft a few times, which (at 20 minutes from the city center) effectively negated my savings.
The room was mostly clean, save for the rug, and it was easy to get in and out of the house. The bathroom had a bit of a bug issue (I think they were fruit flies? and ants), and the rugs were in dire need of cleaning. Other than that, Lucia was super friendly, and if you're looking for a simple room without much fuss, this will do the trick.
