First of all, the pictures of Tanja's home don't do it justice. It is much nicer than we expected! Tanja and Noel were awesome hosts. They gave advice on what to check out in the city and how to get there. Their cats were hilariously mischievous and quite friendly. We almost smuggled one back with us. Overall, our experience staying with Tanja couldn't have been better. I know where to stay from now on whenever I visit Portland.
