I definitely recommend staying with Taizz - she was a truly wonderful host! Her home was comfortable and charming, and she really made me feel right at home. She provides delicious coffee and breakfast in the morning and from what I have heard, I am not the first person to leave a total convert to cold brew coffee. Leela the dog is the cutest and sweetest Germain Shepard I have ever met and Taizz is a wealth of knowledge about things to do in Portland. Make sure you leave enough time to also enjoy the lovely garden and neighborhood.
