Resources for short-term housing (August sublet) in Portland, OR?

I'm a fourth year medical student coming to "OHSU" for a Psychiatry away elective for the month of August. I say "OHSU" because I'll be spending fairly little time on campus- my rotation sites are really at various mental health agencies in the Portland metro area. Anyway, I've been browsing Craigslist, and I know about the med student co-op (inconveniently on the Hill), but where else should I be looking for short-term housing?

Thanks so much for all of your help!

I have no helpful resources to add (as all my house-searching has successful through Craigslist), but my house in SE Portland may be looking for a sublessor in August. MeMail if you'd like to hear more!

I know of someone renting a room and have MeMailed you some contact information. I hope that helps- as a student who often travels for summer work I know the stress of finding housing in distant cities.

My best former housemate ever lives near OHSU and is in a very convenient part of Portland for rotations (my sister stayed with her while doing psych rotations!) and is generally open to short-term studenty types. Drop me a message if you want me to connect the two of you.
