Colleen, a local native of Portland, is super friendly and enthusiastic about Portland. The basement studio with kitchenette was average. There is a small refrigerator, microwave, and toaster oven, but no cooktop. The location in a 1910 neighborhood was walkable and eclectic. Flowers abound. Public transportation to all of Portland is nearby. A shared bathroom is right outside the bedroom door. All in all a good value and great hostess.
