This was my second stay at Taizz's place, and it was just as lovely as the first! I had a busy weekend, so I wasn't "home" much to socialize with Taizz and her other guests, but when we did cross paths, everyone was warm and friendly. Taizz creates a such welcoming, come-as-you-are atmosphere; like last time, I found myself wishing I had more time to relax around the house (and to play with Leela the dog).

If you're visiting the city for the first time, this is a great place to stay for a comfortable, authentically "Portland" experience. And if you're already familiar with Portland, you'll appreciate the homey atmosphere and easy access to everything the city has to offer. I can't recommend this host enough!
