We spend 3 months (my parental leave) at Sonias House with our two little daughters. It was the perfect place to hang out and discover Portland (our new favorite city). A cute wooden house with two porches and a beautiful garden where our older daughter would pick tomotoes and pears and would invite us to have picnics with her. The location is ideal, with NEW SEASONS, one of the best Grocery Stores we have ever seen just around the corner and two really happening streets (Mississipi and N Williams) just four blocks away. We enjoyed the great reastaurants and coffee shops in walking distance (too many to mention but make sure not to miss the Pizza at Loveleys Fifty Fifty, the Breakfast at Sweedeedee and the amazing Mauritian Food Cart "Chez Dodo" right across the street from New Seasons) We loved the quiet and tree lined street and the really friendly neigbours, we loved the fact that the Fremont Bridge would take us to the heart of downtown in just 10 minutes. Sonia was a great host, organising stuff that was missing in the kitchen, giving advice for the most wonderful weekend trips (the Irish Table at Cannon Beach was awesome) and welcoming our daugthers with x-large drawing papers and pencils.The Green Fairy really felt like home to us and we were sad having to go back to Berlin. It was a very special place in special neigbourhood in a special city. We will come back for sure, even if it is "only" for a holiday.
