"That place on Portage" was in a word, Delightful. The space was spotlessly clean and very well appointed. Everything I needed was in the kitchen, small but very functional. I liked the counter bar for visiting while cooking. The apartment was very nicely decorated and with the artwork it had a real west coast vibe going on. The bed was very comfortable and I had no problems going to sleep, not always easy in a unfamiliar space.
The view of the water and hills beyond was beautiful, I especially enjoyed soaking in the tub with a glass of wine enjoying that view. It is a very quiet area, considering how close it is to major transportation routes.
Picturing the dock and the sweeping lawn I am thinking a summer stay may be in order. That way I'll get to enjoy the lovey private deck perhaps reading or visiting with friends.
Mike and Geoff where wonderful host, and after settling in, they were very respectful of my privacy.
I was very impressed with "that place on Portage" and have no difficulty recommending both the space and the wonderful hosts.
Thanks Guys.
