I spent 3 months at Taizz's place and had a wonderful time! Taizz is very welcoming to her guests, sharing her kombucha, berries or other fruits from her garden. She helped me get acquainted with the Portland area and always offered suggestions for local eateries or events. Eating dinner together, having conversations, or taking the dog out for a walk or to play was common. But she also knows how to give a person privacy. Besides the occasional jam at her place, her place is very quiet and peaceful. One can enjoy sitting or reading in the garden. Leela, the German shepherd, is always ready to play with anyone she can, which makes for fun times as well.
Overall, I very much enjoyed by stay at Taizz's place and would love to return sometime.
