Tara's place was great: close proximity to Hawthorne Ave and other neighborhoods like Belmont if you're exploring. It's also clean, private and super comfortable. We were there end of winter/spring and the place has a heater for the room, a heated mattress, and heated bathroom tiles so we were very comfortable. Tara was very responsive and communicative which we really appreciated. We would definitely stay again if we are ever in Portland, and would recommend to family and friends.
