Tara's place has a lovely view...looks just like the pictures both inside and out. Although it is close to the freeway, it is just far enough away that you won't hear any traffic noise. It is large and comfortable so it is good for a longer stay. The kitchen is well-equipped, the living room is a nice place to relax and the bedroom is lovely. Tara is very responsive to any questions you may have. You will enjoy your stay on Portage Bay.
