A++++ and I'd give more stars if I could! I enjoyed 3 evenings (and even more enjoyable mornings) in Judy's home and she was a perfect hostess. She is extremely thoughtful and considerate and it shows in a lot of the little things she does such as leaving on nightlights when I was out late amongst numerous other little touches.

I had been spending $30 to $40 for breakfast in Portland and the meals Judy fixed easily equaled, if not surpassed, anything I had been paying for. Factor that into the reasonable amount she asks for and you have one of the best deals on AirBnB in the Portland area.

The location couldn't have been better being 2 very short blocks from the heart of Division Street. The food carts were just around the corner and there were numerous other businesses to choose from. Lots of dining choices close by with one of the best being the well reviewed Thai restaurant Pok Pok, a very short walk away.

If you have a car there was ample street parking that didn't have trees overhanging it and I could avoid sap and other debris getting on my car. What can I say, I'm fastidious. If you don't have a car, the bus stop is a couple of blocks away and Portland's public transportation is right up there with NYC.

The room was very clean and tidy with lots of closet space and drawer space. There was a ceiling fan (and light) that I put to good use and a small light by the bed, perfect for reading and in easy reach to turn off or on. A bookcase held a number of books and magazines on Portland and were very useful. Lots of 3 pronged outlets for my electronics and wi-fi.

I am very allergic to cats but the location, price and amenities were exactly what I was looking for therefore I decided to chance it. I'm glad I did because Judy keeps the guest room immaculate and that, combined with the hardwood floors, kept my allergies at bay.

The bed was very comfortable and there were plenty of blankets to keep me warm. One of the nicest surprises was that Judy actually had a wonderfully soft down pillow on the bed. That is always my preference and when I can, I travel with mine but hers was perfect.

I was on this trip alone but if you are with a partner and like to cuddle with them, let Judy know and she will set up the two twins as one king, just like they do on the cruise lines.

Someone in a previous review commented that Judy has quiet hours from 10pm to 7am and if you wanted to stay out you should consider saving her place for another night. I think that gives the wrong impression as Judy had no issue whatsoever with me being out late and coming back after everyone was asleep. Her request is that you be mindful and considerate of others in the house who are sleeping and not come home being loud and rowdy. I found it a reasonable request and didn't feel deterred from any late night exploring.

I would have stayed longer if I could but she was all booked up. I think that says it all!
