No kidding, this place has views for miles around! The place overlooks Portland and it's amazing. It's actually quite easy to get to a MAX station for public transit, if you're willing to go down (and up) 200 steps. I definitely got a workout coming back.
The house itself is incredibly beautiful. The bed is massive and comfy, and my favorite part of the room was that she had a little tea/coffee station on its own. The bathroom is also spacious and well-maintained.
Since it's a room in someone's home, it feels like you are staying as a guest. If this isn't your thing, then this might not work for you. For me, however, it felt nice and cozy, like I was visiting a relative or a friend. Joy is an amazing host and makes you feel so welcome! I'd definitely stay here again if I'm traveling on my own. Thanks Joy!
