The 3 things I loved the most about Andrea's place in Portland were: 1) I journeyed with peace and confidence bc Andrea had been so responsive (in moments!) and informative throughout the booking process. 2) I arrived exhausted and jet-lagged and slept the best sleep every night in THAT BED! Beyond COMFORTABLE. Beautiful linens, too. 3) Location! I loved my walks through the beautiful neighborhood to easily get to public transportation. Easy access to everything I needed as a business traveler headed to the Convention Center every day, meeting colleagues at Portland sites, and to/from PDX. I didn't have time to get to the Japanese Gardens, but felt that my walks past the neighborhood's beautiful lawns/gardens was a great stand in. 4) (Because I can't stop at three!) THAT SHOWER! Gorgeous, brand new bathroom, even a washer/dryer and detergent. 5) Everything I needed and nothing I didn't -- in terms of furnishings, technology, kitchen/bath supplies. I love how Andrea has achieved a serene aesthetic while providing a traveler with what she needs. 6) I had zero hassles, difficulties, discomforts or unknowns thanks to Andrea's skilled and generous hosting.
