Kelly couldn't have been more obliging. He was thorough in his attention and always available one way or another to answer queries or offer advice, whether about the property or just general visitor information about Portland. The accommodation itself was just what we had hoped...better in fact. Refreshing Latin colours warm you and returning there late (as we did a few times after dancing at the nearbyTango Berritin) the lighting was inviting.

Make sure you use the bicycles. We used them one day to go to the excellent local outdoor swimming pool a dozen or so blocks away and on another occasion to get Downtown (about half an hour) using Portland's clearly marked bicycle route system. We felt totally safe and particularly enjoyed riding along the riverside Esplanande.

The room was very comfotable and clean and we had our own shower room as well as a perfect little raised patio area over looking their charming back garden; ideal for breakfast outside. We were afforded all the privacy we needed and yet they were on hand the minute we had a question. Should we need accommodation in that area again, we'd be delighted to revisit Kelly and his family at Big Blue FoPo.
