The home was outstanding, Shelly met me when I arrived and gave me a good lay of the land and surrounding areas of interest. the home was very clean, with the personal touches, it made me feel like home. Mt. Tabor was a very short walk to enjoy local eateries, shopping and coffee. the Public system is easy to learn and it will take you just about anywhere to see more of Portland for five dollars a day. I would suggest if you want to see more outside Portland to get a rental car, we also went to the Falls, Mount. Hood and the scenic "Fruit Loop" in the valley. Definitely recommend Shelly's as a quiet and restful place to stay.
