My experience with Nannette and in her home was incredibly positive. Her hospitality and communication with me before and throughout my stay were wonderful, even as I booked the room last minute for a 48 hour trip. I arrived around 7pm and my check-in was easy, as she shared the instructions well. It was my first (definitely not my last!) time in Portland, and her advice based on my interests was great. She has a kind, warm, thoughtful soul that made me feel at home. She's helpful, not overbearing. She gave me my space, and we also discussed our shared interests in nature and running. Her roommate, MJ, is also nice, kind and respectful. As for my room, it was very clean and just like the photos showed. True to a well-kept Nannette's house is beautiful, bright, and homey, true to the Craftsman heritage. The kitchen was clean and available, and her backyard looked heavenly. The location is optimal for exploring not only Hawthorne (a great, foodie, relaxed neighborhood) but other areas of Portland as well. I highly recommend staying here. I am sad I could only stay 2 nights and would definitely book again.
