Mary-Yoko and her husband were fantastic hosts with a beautiful space to share with guests. Mary-Yoko greeted us and gave us a lay of the land upon our arrival that included many options within walking distance. We benefited from having her close for questions but also were given privacy. We have stayed in Portland many times but never so close to Forest Park which can be reached by walking. Due to one of us having a recent knee replacement, we weren't able to take advantage of all the walking opportunities but driving to everything was still very easy and straight forward.
Inside the place, we felt as if we were in a treehouse with windows spanning the back wall to show trees and foliage growing up a hillside. The entire experience was very calming and peaceful. Even though there wasn't a full kitchen we were able to cook meals when needed. Overall, a wonderful stay.
