Norah made us feel really welcome and was very friendly (as was the daughter of hers we met and her charming cat, Chompers). The neighborhood is a few quick blocks from a main busline which was very handy. We really loved the space (and the eggs provided from her chickens), we're a mid-twenties couple and it worked out perfectly. The dryer and washer were a definite bonus. So much better and more cost-effective all-around than a hotel, would definitely recommend for any Portland travelers.
