For my first visit to Portland, Hilary's home was an ideal place to stay. She was a good host and even better housemate. She helped me navigate around the area which is situated in a very quiet neighborhood near two main commercial roads which had many restaurants, bars and shopping options. While I wasn't exploring Portland, hanging out at the house was like being home. Hilary's co-host, bear the pug, and her other four legged furry friends offered plenty of companionship. They are really sweet, but won't bother you if you're not in the mood. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks again Hilary!
