Made our reservation with Janice last minute after our Vancouver plans didn't come through. She was prompt to answer and welcoming. Her home is beautiful and impeccably clean. There is a fountain in her backyard to sit by and relax, and everything you can possibly need is readily available.
The house itself is in a very convenient neighborhood. We bought day passes from the local transit line, since parking is expensive downtown and hard to find. It's near several bus stops and buses come by often.
Janice herself is the most gracious host! She's lived in the city for a while and has great taste, so she has plenty of recommendations neatly printed out for you and is readily available for more if you text her. We had a blast talking to her in between our adventures in Portland. Couldn't ask for a better host!
