Ann, Lee, and Chichi (the cat) have created the most wonderful home away from home. While we were unused to the cold weather (it snowed in Christmas in Portland! Which hardly snows but always rains! ... we were told, it being our first time there), their home provided the perfect refuge from the cold, and their thoughtful recommendations provided plenty of fuel for both the body and the soul. Their food recommendations are spot on; our heavier bodies can attest to that. The bathroom comes equipped with double sinks (a dream for getting ready in the morning), and the beautiful bedroom comes with extra blankets and the softest bathrobes and slippers one can imagine. Everywhere we wanted to go was easily accessible by public transport from the house. We are so lucky to have stayed with them during our first time in Portland; there could not have been better hosts. Much love!
