Brenda has the best host imaginable. I had come in from a long day of travel and within a few minutes of entering her place, I had wine in hand! She is committed to having the stay be relaxing and enjoyable, with everything from refreshments, snacks, coffee (Keurig machine in the room!) to a gorgeous bathroom that is like a mini-Sephora, complete with everything you could need for an at-home spa night! I really loved my conversations with Brenda. She does such a great job being a warm host, but also giving you privacy. Just loved her and would happily stay again with her on any future visits to Portland. Wish I could leave a 10-star review instead of just 5!
