Dana was friendly and welcoming. She always responded quickly to our messages or questions. We really appreciated her welcoming our 2 cats who were traveling with us. Her home was comfortable, spacious, and cozy, as depicted and described in her listing. We especially loved the kitchen and dining area, the fireplace, and the ability to use her washer and dryer. Her house is in a quiet, walkable neighborhood, near a Safeway, restaurants, etc. It was our first visit to Portland, and her house made a good home base for us. The only potential drawback was that the stairs to the second floor are very steep, which could be an issue for people with mobility issues or a lot of heavy luggage. We highly recommend Dana's house.
