My friend and I went to Oregon on a "tattoo trip" for her to get one and I tagged along for the opportunity to go to one of my dream states. Oregon did not disappoint. When planning the trip I came across an airbnb site. As I scrolled through, I seen the artist retreat. I instantly was drawn to it and knew that I had to book it. When we left the airport we immediately had to go to Gresham for my friends appointment. We were there for nearly 5 hours and ready to go settle in at Anne's artists retreat. However, I booked a tour for the Shanghai tunnels and then we still had to eat. During that time Anne had sent me a text just checking with us to make sure we arrived safely, and also to give me a code to get into the apartment. She was afraid she might miss us and was concerned for us. I was touched by this. Finally, a short time after 10pm we made it to our destination. When we pulled into the driveway and got out, I noticed Anne coming out of her her house upstairs. She came down the stairs and greeted me with a warm and gentle handshake. She then took Nikki and I to the door of the apartment and led us into the most beautiful, warm and cozy apartment. Not just a room, but an entire apartment. I felt like I was home...in fact, I wanted that to be my home because it was so wonderfully decorated and had such a peaceful feeling. After some unpacking and showers, Nikki was off to her bed and me to mine. When my head hit the pillow, I was asleep. And I slept better than I have in months. The bed was comfortable and when I woke up I felt rejuvenated and ready for our day of Portland scenery and food. We were having so much fun but I found myself just wanting to get back to the apartment and spend the rest of my time there. Anne literally has thought of everything to ensure a comfortable stay. She has magazines of Portland and things to do while visiting. There are books to read. There is a table to enjoy a cup of coffee and bagel. She provides you with all of the necessities that you really don't even need to pack those for your trip. She has created a reading area with comfy chairs. There is a laundry area and a closet for your clothes and luggage. There is also a full size refrigerator. The bathroom is new and modern. The biggest thing is that the entire apartment is pristine clean and immaculate. Anne has an area outside to recycle and her concern for not only her guests but our environment is evident in everything and I loved that. We had to leave quite early for the airport and were trying to be as quiet as we could...
