Janie is a very accomplished hostess with a lovely basement apartment to share. She greets us when we arrive, provides everything we need, and is available if we have questions or need help while we're there. The apartment is painted is great, soothing tones. And how many apartments have an art-deco fireplace in the bedroom? Very good bed and bedding, large kitchen with ample eating space for four. The best part is getting to look at the garden. Portland is a great garden city and this one has a fine selection of unusual and beautiful plants. This is our second time staying here and we hope to have many more.
