What others have said is true: the pictures don't do Tamara's place justice. It's chic, spacious, and welcoming in every way -- the high ceilings and skylights create a great vibe. That beautiful blue velvet sofa is SO COMFORTABLE, as is the bed, and the fireplace was a treat (have already already ordered some of the natural fire-starter pods to be delivered to home!). The kitchen and laundry room provided us with every "home away from home" need -- perfect for this three days that was part of a longer trip. We arrived by train, and enjoyed Portland from Tamara's via public transit and on foot: this place is easy access to many areas by bus and MAX. My tip: download the TriMet app, and buy your daily transit pass online while you enjoy your first coffee of the day!

Highly recommend, and would come back next time for sure.
