Sheilah's place is in a very walkable neighborhood. Coffee, food and the light rail are all within a few blocks and the area is very safe at night. The room is on the second floor so anyone with mobility concerns should keep that in mind. The room was very clean and comfortable, with a great dresser, closet and nightstand that make you feel much more at home. Sheila was a great host and though I wasn't able to extend my reservation (to be fair to her, I decided to stay a few more days very last minute!) she was very helpful in recommending a neighborhood convinent for the sights I wanted to see in Portland. Would absolutely stay here again!
