Our family had a great time in Portland at Mary Beth's place. The house was clean, tastefully decorated and well furnished. The yard was beautiful. The guest book was helpful and concise - orienting us to local options for groceries, restaurants, a local gym, etc. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare simple, complete home-cooked meals - the food scene in Portland is great, but it's nice to have that option once or twice a day. The location was very convenient for everything from downtown to the hip east side areas (Hawthorne, Division, Ladd's Addition, Woodstock). On top of all that, Mary Beth was very responsive and helpful with any questions.
