Paula was a friendly host. The house was great! Amazing views and the house was very spacious. The downside was that there was yard work being done all day Saturday, starting at 8am. Because of the beautiful views we wanted to hang out outside but felt uncomfortable to do so with the gardeners there all day. It also would have been nice to know that the unit is connected to her house and you will be sharing a backyard with her and her family. Regardless our stay was amazing, we had an awesome time in Portland!
