My stay with Amy was amazing! Amy is the best and I already miss her! She was so kind to invite me along to lunch with her and show me a bit of Portland - and she also gave me plenty of space to do my own thing. Amy is also an amazing cook and the best meals I had in Portland were made by Amy! Her place is about a 20 minute walk to the MAX or there is a bus just a couple of streets over that takes you to the 60th street MAX station in a few minutes or straight downtown. There is a large grocery store about 15 minute walk. Amy has gorgeous gardens that are lovely to sit in and relax in the afternoon, and the studio upstairs is very spacious with the room plus the large office area. The microwave and fridge were great as well for your basic cooking. As some other reviewers mentioned, the bathroom is quirky, but serviceable.

Best parts: Excellent value and wonderful host
To keep in mind: not a huge amount of things within short walking distance, but easy enough to get into town. Bathroom fine for short people like me :)

Would not hesitate to stay with Amy again if I get back to Portland.
