Ashley was really quick to respond to my request to stay after I had been let down at the last minute by another Portland listing. She welcomed me into her lovely home and was generous and interested from the get go. Her place was clean and the room was just as described. I totally loved the area- right near some really cool, hip little neighbourhoods with great vintage stores, coffee shops and restaurants. A perfect neighbourhood to stay in if visiting for a few days. And it's only a 15min bus journey right into the heart of downtown Portland. Florie (dog) and Chico (cat) were very friendly and if you like pets then great but if not then they keep themselves to themselves. All in all a very lovely experience.
