I am a new mom and I was very excited, but nervous to fly alone with my 1 year old to go to a conference in portland. Staying at Tom’s was the best thing I could have ever asked for. There was space for my son to play inside and a playground across the street. Tom let me wash a load of baby clothes and use the kitchen to make pasta and keep milk the fridge. Those might sound like small things, but if you are a parent with a little one you know how important these things are. I was far from home, but felt supported and that I had use of the essentials I needed to care for my child. Also, the price for the room cannot be beat. Hawthorne area has to be my favorite in Portland and the fact I would be there with my son, walk to public transit, park, and just around the neighborhood and for such a great price - cannot thank Tom enough for having us and letting us feel welcome in his home. I was honestly on survival mode most of the trip, thank you again Tom for being there for a new mom.
