Taizz was a great hostess! I really enjoyed staying with her and her incredibly sweet dog and cat. She really helped me understand how to get around Portland (she lives a 3-5 minute walk from the bus stop!), provided many ways of making coffee (including my favorite, pour over), and gave lots of breakfast options. She also recommended some great places to eat. Her house is very nice, her kitchen is open and accessible, and the room I stayed in was very nice, with lots of room for all of my stuff. I would highly recommend staying with Taizz!
