This was a medical emergency trip for my husband and I as our 33 Portlander son had suffered a stroke and was released and we all needed some down time. I was physically and mentally exhausted, so all of Larissa’s attentiveness, kindness, and sweet touches were so very appreciated by me. I’ve kept her sweet note to me as a reminder of just how lovely strangers can be. The house was clean, cozy and perfect for our R and R. My husband and I had the upstairs bed and bath. The king sized bed under the skylights was like sleeping on a cloud and the shower head was fantastic. I’m going to see if I can find the same one to order for home. We love to cook and the kitchen had a great choice of cookware, utensils, and dishes. The cozy living room made for great conversations by the fireplace and the big dining room table for many card and board games. The large front porch was comfy for having a cup of tea and listening to the rustle of the trees and our friendly neighborhood crow. The neighborhood was perfect for walks, and having flown in from rural Michigan where people just don’t get it with Covid safety, we were SO utterly BLOWN AWAY by the masking and social
distancing adherence in Portland. It was FANTASTIC and we appreciated it immensely, being extremely cautious ourselves. Mt Tabor was also close and that had nice walks as well. If our son stays located in that neck of the woods, we will definitely be back to stay in Larrisa’s bungalow!
