Absolutely enjoyed our stay at Nicole's place. If you're a first timer to Portland it's not a far drive from many hot spots. If you're familiar with Portland, St Johns is a great community with lots of fun places. Despite both myself and husband having severe cat allergies (we didn't read the full description) we came prepped with allergy pills. Neither of us needed them and had absolutely no reaction to Nicole's cats. She keeps it very clean and the cats did not venture into our space. The space was just fine for the two of us!
