We went to Portland to see family, and Carol and Bill's guesthouse was the perfect place to start and end our days. It still feels brand new and is super clean. It's designed and decorated beautifully. Carol's organization makes it really easy to find anything you need, and her generosity and quick responses make it really comfortable to ask any questions you might have. Our family of three usually tries to find a two bedroom/two bath, so we expected we might be a bit crowded, but we felt like we had plenty of room in this open, light space. We also really loved the neighborhood. We've lived in Portland, but had never spent time in Maplewood, and we loved running and biking around the family-friendly neighborhood. Gabriel and April Hill parks were particular treats, and having the Maplewood coffee shop just a few blocks away was also fantastic. We're very likely to be back on our next Portland trip.
