My stay with Colleen was extremely pleasant. Everything is exactly what you see on her pictures and her descriptions. The neighbor hood is quiet and covered with beautiful trees and gardens and It is very family oriented neighborhood. The place is really close to down town Portland/the Pearl/Hollywood district. Colleen has great communication skills and will make sure to give you all the information you will need during your stay at her home. She is also very welcoming and will make sure you feel at home. I was a little hesitant about having to share a bathroom with someone else but it was not bad at all. There was someone else during my 3 day stay but I never ran into anyone else nor did it interfere(using the bathroom)with my schedule. I really recommend everyone visiting Portland to stay with Colleen. You won't regret it! Thank you for everything Colleen. :)
