We had a terrific stay at Tara’s beautiful guest house. A few blocks from restaurants, shops and grocery stores on a lovely quiet tree-lined street with plenty of parking. We had amazing coffee Tara provided (and also at Common Grounds on Hawthorne Bl.) Tara’s place is an old carriage house behind the main house - it’s very private with a wonderful ambience from the beautiful patterned rugs, to the gorgeous modern bathroom with heated floors, huge comfy heated bed, an awesome older record player - we lounged listening to DejaVu from CSandNY on vinyl and had Tea we found provided in the evening. Hangers for clothing, Portland magazines, hidden bookshelves, cute chairs, cafe string lights outside, little secret touches. We had to attend a family memorial and staying at Tara’s lifted our spirits. Would return in a heartbeat.
