I had a great stay here and spent 9 nights at Judy's. I felt right at home. It's a comfy house in a safe neighborhood, close to good places to eat and walk or ride. Portland is VERY bike friendly. The house heats up quickly, and it was cozy and warm, and there is a garden and fig tree. I wasnt home much, but looked forward to the time I spent there. I was able to cook, and she has some good music to listen to. She wasnt in town, so I had the house to myself, except for the wonderful snuggly little Mitten the kitten, and taking care of a couple sweet chickens. She has a washer/drier. The only problem is that there is a slight musty smell in the guest room for those who may be mold or smell sensitive, but wasn't much of a problem for me. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
