Colleen's is a hidden gem in the city of roses!
I would definitely recommend this place. Staying here was the best decision we made!
Location & Pricing: Pricing for the stay was extremely reasonable considering the cost of hotels in the area. We were less than 20 minutes from downtown and almost every other destination we visited.
Accommodations: The private studio was the perfect home base for our trip. We had a comfortable king sized bed, a small wardrobe to hang/store clothes, a cute dining table, and a kitchen complete with microwave, small fridge, tabletop burner and a complete set of tableware and utensils. We shared a bathroom with another couple but it was always available when either of us needed it. She also provided fresh towels on a daily basis. Finally, we were also given shared access to Colleen's washer/dryer and her beautiful backyard garden and grill.
Host: Colleen was the best! When we first met, she greeted me with a welcoming hug. She's extremely sweet and always told us to come to her for anything we needed. She also has a great deal of insight about Portland. She provided numerous maps and pamphlets about the various attractions. She also subscribed to a Portland travel magazine which she would go through and put little post-its for sites/destinations she recommended.
