Jere's place was AMAZING! It really is a private haven. We actually didn't meet Jere, as the room functions almost like a studio apartment rather than just a room in a house. The room is huge, with a microwave, coffee pot and coffee, desk, flatscreen, a mini fridge, and nice decor to boot. The bathroom is decadent, with a huge open shower, double sinks, and even a huge linen closet with a place to sit and do your makeup. She has extra toiletries too, which came in handy (forgot my toothbrush), and a hair dryer, iron and ironing board, and lots of extra towels. This is definitely better and more well-appointed than most hotels. Again, we didn't even meet Jere, so if you're iffy on renting a room rather than a whole home, don't be. She provides complete privacy, and this place really does feel like a complete home rather than a room! Also, the neighborhood is very walkable and close to the happening Mississippi Ave (bars/shops/restaurants), and you can easily get to downtown or any other part of Portland via a close-by bus or cheap Uber. I really can't say enough great things about this place. Jere, thanks so much for providing such amazing accommodations.
