Ann and Lee are FABULOUS hosts, and their home is such a welcoming and warm place to stay. We give them 10 STARS!!! It's sparkling clean, yet cozy and warm, and they have thought of everything to make your stay peaceful and relaxing. There was a hot pot of coffee waiting for us when we woke up, and we enjoyed watching the neighborhood start its day from their expansive and beautiful front porch while we sipped our coffee. They also have hot water, tea, and hot cocoa available. We did heed their advice and did not leave anything in the cabin of our car, but we felt very safe while walking all around their neighborhood. Tons of places to walk to for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We enjoyed the Lebanese restaurant Tarboush - right down at the end of their street on Hawthorne - excellent happy hour from 3-6pm. We also walked a bit further down Hawthorne for breakfast at Cup and Saucer - a very locals oriented place with straightforward breakfast food and a wide variety of cocktails and other beverages for your breakfast or brunch. And the food is very reasonably priced, kinda amazing for PDX. We stayed in the Garden Side room and it was super quiet, we didn't hear any traffic noise, and you have a lovely view of their garden and pond. The mural in the room is gorgeous and the extra sitting chairs and table make it cozy. The queen mattress is new, and totally comfortable. If you need anything, just ask, Ann and Lee know how to take care of their guests, and they have really thought of everything. They have an amazing bathroom cabinet filled with all sorts of things that you might need during your travels and may have forgotten to bring along. And don't even get me started on their 2 cats and the 4 kittens they are fostering...so adorable! If you are a cat lover, and also want a restful stay, you can't go wrong staying with Ann and Lee, they are the most thoughtful hosts. Hope to stay again sometime - Loretta and David
