Sharon's above-the-garage apartment is a compact but well-equipped space. There is no stove (just a portable electric burner) but that was fine for us as we only needed the toaster and microwave. Because the unit is separate from the house we didn't meet the host in person, but she replied quickly to email and arranged for on-street parking which was very convenient. Overall this is a good 'base of operations' for 1-2 people visiting Portland.
