I stayed at Patti's place for 3 nights. The location is central to everything in Portland, the room looks as it appears in the photos (just lovely!), while the room is in a working business, I felt safe, secure and that my room was private at all times. Previous reviewers have mentioned the noise, but I didn't find it an issue & didn't need to use the ear plugs available. Lastly, I only met Patti & her husband once, they were very kind, offered suggestions on things to see in Portland & made me feel very welcome. Patti was also really great with her e-mail communication. Thanks so much for a great stay. I hope to be back one day!
