Barbara's place was so comfortable. My best friend and I stayed here two nights, both starting a vacation we desperately needed. We were so comfortable we slept in without meaning too and enjoyed our evenings there instead of going out. I was impressed with her set up. Its so well decorated, not too much or too bare. it has great windows and I enjoyed watching squirrels chase each other on the near by tree. I digress, there is a full kitchen and we made dinner there each night of the trip. Barbara keeps all the needed amenities for a comfy dinner or any meal at home. There was tea and coffee available and a comfortable bed to sleep on. my friend slept on the futon bed without complaint. the bathroom is big enough with the shower being HOT which I love. My friend and I actually joked about how we could easily move in the house and where we'd put our things. I also felt very safe and is secluded enough to feel away from it all but also easy to hop into our car and get going quickly. There is no cable in the house but Barbara provides Netflix which was enough for me.
Finally, my California blood is thin, but Barbaras home was warm and inviting. It makes me want to visit PDX again soon!
