We made it to Portland!!! dream come through. Been planing this trip with what seemed like a myriad of insurmountable obstacles for 5 years, to be honest our hearts and spirit was always in the right place, so we kept working, saving and planning. As serendipitous as our entire journey has been thus far. We had no clue that an ad hoc decision made on a whim to try Airbnb first would lead us to two truly amazing people that went out of there way beyond what we believe is required of a host, to make us feel at home. From the time we saw the Quadrant couch that's more than a king size. and read the reviews we knew Mrs. Anne place was where we wanted to stay for our trip to Portland. We x'ed out the other listings in our browser and booked her place for 5 nights sharing apart of our story with her, unsure if she would accept, surprise when she did and humbled by how much she would share with us in return. Our trip has been blessed with a lot of unforgettable experiences so far, gaining a small sense of the true Oregonian life, that we would of never experience if we had stayed at a hotel, finding family in the end.
Oh yes!! the place was also clean, quiet, very comfortable, accommodating and much more private than we thought it would be.
