I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Valerie's extremely cozy and comfortable guest house. I stayed for a week during a tiresome two-week business trip, and her place was perfect for my needs! Very cozy, comfortable, quiet, clean... perfect for resting and relaxing after a long work day and travel, and her sauna and hot tub were such a treat to unwind! Valerie is such a thoughtful host, providing locally made snacks, beverages, and a note as a welcome gift, a plush robe and slippers to make you feel more at home, and set the cool stereo system to a calming classical channel upon check-in. I wish I had her stereo system and heated bathroom floors for my home! Her kitchen has plenty if you want to cook, and she provides tea and coffee (as well as a variety of dairy and dairy-free creamers and a variety of sweeteners) to cover all tastes. She's also super quick to respond and very communicative, and when the battery to the lock died one evening, she was at the door within a minute or two of me reaching out, new batteries in hand, getting me back inside and replacing the batteries in just a moment. This showed that, even when she thinks of everything and the unexpected comes up, she's quick to respond and resolve. You can trust that you're in very good hands. I highly recommend Valerie's guest house and really hope it's available on future trips to Portland!
