Joanne was an excellent host, and regularly checked if we were comfortable or if there was anything we needed. The room was nice and clean, and provided a great base for our explorations around Portland, and is nearby Mt. Tabor park which was a great place to go for a run. The neighborhood has some nice restaurants and good access to public transit to get to where you need to in the city. We went to Jam on Hawthorne (a nearby restaurant - short bus trip) two days in a row since it was so good.
