We so enjoyed staying at Lori's place. She is the consummate host and a joy to be around. Although we didn't get to spend much time with her cause we were in town and out a lot, it was a treat to share a few conversations and we had a wonderful evening moment together before leaving, as she asked if I could play a song on my violin and she and my mom had a couple hand percussion instruments and we had a terrific song share to commemorate one of the last evenings.
The bed was very comfortable. We were worried about waking her as I came home late but quietly and she was so sweet and said didn't hear the stairs or door creak. Her and her thoughtful son helped us have a fan and made sure there was fresh air for the bedroom and were very helpful and accommodating for our entire stay. We had plenty of space for ourselves and was a great balance of friendly and private.
Peaceful neighborhood. Cool kitty who is mostly outdoors (we would have tea outside and he was good company). Beautiful outdoor garden.
Recommend Lori and her space as a perfect getaway on edge of Portland, very accessible. Heard Cathedral Park is close and lovely and would be a fun area to explore in the future. Great experience!
