Tara's place makes a perfect home base for a few days spent out exploring Portland. The Alberta Arts neighborhood has a wide range of shops, restaurants, and coffee shops to check out. And, the walk across the river is incredibly easily if you want to checkout the Pearl or downtown spots. If you want a night it, the couch is comfy and the smart tv offers a wide range of viewing options. And, the basics are solid - the bed is comfortable, the shower has great water pressure, and there were plenty of places for us to sit/stash our stuff.
Tara is also a great host. She responded to requests quickly and even stashed our luggage after we checked out to facilitate our ability to keep exploring the neighborhood prior to a late night flight back to the east coast! I would absolutely stay here again.
