My friend and I were looking for an easy, convenient place to stay for a few days while we were in town for a wedding. A lot of the other Airbnbs/hotels were fairly expensive due to the holiday weekend but Joy's private room was reasonably priced!
The room is a private space with it's own bathroom on the main floor of the home. The host and her kids do stay there but don't bother you and are usually busy doing their own thing. The space is clean and comfortable, it felt very homey. There is also a cute coffee/tea bar at the entrance for you to use. The home has a nice private deck overlooking the city, and was a really nice spot to drink coffee in the morning or unwind at the end of the day. The location is so convenient, as it is only about a 10 minute walk to the closest rail stop (green/yellow lines), which we took into downtown Portland everyday to explore.
Joy was extremely helpful when we had questions about transportation and activity/food recommendations. She also provided items we needed in the moment, such as sunscreen and Tylenol. She and her kids were very welcoming and made us feel comfortable in their space. We are extremely satisfied with our stay and would definitely stay here again on our next visit!
