Janet's place is beautiful, quiet, and private, located in a very safe and quiet neighbourhood of Portland. The suite is separate from the rest of Janet's home, and Janet stocked the mini fridge with drinks and snacks. There's a toaster, microwave, coffeemaker and nearby amenities. The bed and suite is extremely comfortable and clean, and quite cool even though there was no AC and I was staying during an exceptionally hot week otherwise. If you're a solo traveller like me who values comfort and privacy, you can't do better than this place.

This was my first time in Portland and I spent most of my time at Reed College, so the location was absolutely perfect for me -- about a 15-20 minute walk. The peace and quiet of the neighbourhood does have one downside: having a vehicle or bicycle is a must if you want to see more of the city. Fortunately, it is only about a 15-20 minute drive from the downtown Portland and PDX. However, taking public transit in the area seemed slower than walking it myself.
