Lucia is a very warm and welcoming woman. She is friendly, communicative, and accommodating. I felt so well taken care of while I stayed at her place.
The room I stayed in was very clean and comfortable. There is a large window with dark curtains so you can sleep in if you like, and a very large desk with a work-light. Plenty of space to put your clothes and store your bags.
She has some house rules that are meant to keep a balance and equilibrium, as well as ensure everyone is safe in the house. She is strict about no 420, drinking, smoking, etc. If you are hell-bent on partying, having people over, or being a late-nighter, Lucia's place is not for you (unless she changes her rules). Lucia's place is for mature adults who are looking for warmth, hospitality, and a safe and serene place to stay.
I can not recommend Lucia and her place more highly to those passing through Portland! The value is going to be nearly impossible to beat.
