Ann's house was perfect for our stay in Portland! Everything was exactly as described, and even better in person! It was located on a quiet, tree-lined residential street just steps from all the shops and restaurants Hawthorne street has to offer. I enjoyed tacos and margaritas at Por Que No, and a jog in the lovely Laurelhurst Park nearby. Ann's place had all the amenities we needed and more--coffee in the morning, a medicine cabinet in the bathroom well-stocked with items for guests to use (which was great because I forgot toothpaste and sunscreen!), and even an iron so we could freshen up our outfits for the wedding we were attending. We had the top floor to ourselves, and our spacious room included a walk-in closet and a separate kitchenette and office space with a desk, which was perfect for my boyfriend to work remotely from during the day. Ann was an incredibly inviting host, and check-in/check-out was a breeze. She gave us lots of local tips, but also plenty of space to do our own thing. If I stay again (which I hope I get the chance to!) I will take advantage of the beautiful backyard and front patio areas which Ann also generously opened up to us--the only reason I didn't this time is because the weather was unexpectedly chilly. Last but not least, Ann's cats were fun, gentle, and low-maintenance companions. :)
