Meredith was a great hostesses. She's pretty chill and very friendly. She's lived in Portland over 25 years, I believe, so she can tell you the hot spots. Her house is bit older, but it's very clean. The neighborhood is pretty chill and peaceful. Her house is located about 20 mins from the Union Station. You can take the 35 bus route and there's other bus routes like the 72 and 44 within a few blocks as well. All of these buses will take you into downtown Portland. She has magazines in the guest bedroom dresser so you can find places and restaurants in the Portland area. The bed was very comfortable. I shared the bedroom with and her roommate, which was very clean. I enjoyed my stay. Just remember to not lock the top lock on her door 😂.
