Janet’s guesthouse was absolutely perfect for me. I spent a week so I got to know the area and the apartment quite well. It is in a safe neighborhood near a large park and not far from grocery shopping, restaurants, and coffee shops. The guesthouse has windows on all sides and is located inside her backyard garden area. The space is completely private and sunny (well, of course, it is in Portland …). The inside is compact, but well appointed, completely clean and nicely organized. The bed is medium-firm, and quite comfortable. There is a small desk where I used my portable computer with a fast and reliable WiFi connection. The kitchen had everything I needed to be able to prepare and eat meals, with both microwave and toaster ovens and a coffee maker. I especially appreciated the selection of gourmet coffee that Janet left for me to try. Janet responded to my questions very quickly and was an excellent host.
