We were coming into portland just for the night to pick up my mother at the airport the next day before we headed out to Hood River. Ngone was very accommodating and quick to respond which was helpful, as we did not arrange any accommodations ahead of time. The check-in instructions were clear and concise, and everything was as it was laid out in the listing. In the morning I was happy to see how wooded and private the area is. There is a peaceful and beautiful brook that runs alongside the house and a lovely bamboo “forest.” The space itself is a nice, big, open room with 3 big beds- although we personally did not need that much sleeping space, I can see how it would be nice for larger groups. Ngone has also tried to give the guest a little something of everything- since there is not a full kitchen, like a hot plate, microwave, toaster oven and refrigerator. It is just enough to get by, and have those options :)). I did find the room a little on the colder side, as it is above a garage- and couldn’t figure out the thermostat- but I am sure it was just my ineptness and is probably fine, but since we were only 1 night, I did not pursue. Definitely in the other 3 seasons the room should be great, temp-wise. Since our stay was so short, we did not get a chance to meet Ngone, but she seemed delightful over texting and I am sure she is a lovely host!
