Tracie's place was so perfect: it's cute, well appointed, in a lovely neighbourhood, and has plenty of anything you can think of. Tracie went over and beyond as a host - we were coming up to a heat wave in Portland and asked her for air conditioning, since the place did not have it. She replied immediately and brought AC units the next day (and installed them herself!). The beds are really comfortable, the deck is lovely, the spare bedroom has a large working desk which my husband was able to use as an office for the whole two weeks we were there. Tracie even provided a printer. We cooked a lot - but the food trucks down on NW 23rd (Nob Hill Food Carts) were a 20min walk away. The entrance to Forest Park is pretty much across the street from this place too. We did find the kitchen to be slightly too well stocked (if there is such a thing!) so if you're planning on cooking every day for a long time, plan accordingly. We would absolutely stay here again.
