This was truly a wonderful find....for the following reasons: Nancy's home is dog-friendly, with a large and well kept fenced-in area in the back yard. Nancy very considerately had multiple water bowls waiting for our lab, Oliver, and it's obvious that Nancy knows and loves dogs. The upstairs room is clean, lovely, and quite spacious, with a comfortable king bed and one entire side of windows that overlook the Willamette River and Sauvie Island. If the windows are open, you can sometime hear traffic on the expressway at the bottom of the hill and adjacent to the Willamette River. There is a private entrance in the back yard and up the stairs to the balcony and sliding door, and a second entrance shared with Nancy that leads to inside stairs and up to the room. The private bathroom also is clean, spacious, and well stocked, although the sit-down shower is a bit funky and takes a time or two to get used to, but fine after you've got a process.
Nancy is very welcoming and a great communicator, I don't think she took more than 30 minutes to answer a single email. Nothing bad to report here, we had a wonderful stay and occasional visit with Nancy. We plan to return when in Portland.
