I stayed at Jody's for one night and though I never met her, she was incredibly communicative and responsive to my messages. The room was clean and though it's technically a private room in a house, it felt like its own space because it's separated from the main part. Check-in was easy and straightforward. Jody has a binder full of information about the house and fun activities to do in the neighborhood, for those unfamiliar with the area. I love this part of Portland, it's a really great neighborhood that's quiet, but close to a lot of fun things. All around a wonderful stay.
