Tey was an amazing and gracious host. I had a brief jaunt into Portland to visit my son and I needed a place to rest my head, bathe and unwind. Basically, I'm usually on the lookout for simplicity, comfort and quiet. I'll take a studio or one-bedroom rental over a hotel room any day. On this quest, sometimes the offerings are more miss than hit, but Tey's place is my idea of a hobbit hole, which means 'home.'
There's a simple magic to a simple, well-lighted place, which dispenses with pretense and just is. A place one can walk into and immediately sit down. Which isn't to say Tey's home lacks for sly touches of character. I guess this makes Tey a benign sorceress of some sort, who specializes in incantations for the good, honest and clean.
