We stayed at Juliet's home for a romantic three day break in Portland and, despite the weather; found it to be sunny and welcoming and absolutely perfect for exploring the city. We opted to take the car and park in the city, just because we knew we would be doing a lot of shopping and didn't want to carry it with us; but next time (and there will be a next time for sure!), we will utlilize the very convenient tram system - the nearest tram stop was literally right around the corner from the property. Also perfectly situated for dinner and drinks in the Nob Hill district, we took Juliet's advice on two local restaurants within very easy walking distance of the house and had a wonderful time without drawing straws for who would be able to have a festive drink. It was fabulous to enjoy good food and wine and not have to worry about driving. DO NOT MISS dinner at Caffe Mingo (Juliet's favorite) if you visit - absolutely amazing, genuine Italian rustic food and the host couldn't be more welcoming.

The house itself was warm, clean and very spacious for the two of us - indeed we would have no hesitation in bringing our children on another excursion as there is plenty of room. We didn't cook anything but breakfast and pre-bedtime snacks (with more wine courtesy of Juliet!) during our stay, but if you wanted to make meals, there is every amenity to do so.

In all, we had a really great time and being Bend based for the next few weeks, we plan on going over to Portland again in for another couple of fun city nights with some great hospitality. 11/10!! Thanks Juliet!
