It is so hard to find the words to describe what an incredible experience it was to stay at Arlene's place! Magical is the best word that I can find. Everything is simply gorgeous from the minute that you walk in the door. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped.
For me the landscaping and the abundance of wildlife in the backyard provided so much pleasure. Not only the visual appearance of everything in bloom but also the antics of the squirrels chasing one another to the beauty of the birds stopping in for a snack. After a long day it work is was so relaxing to come home and spend some time absorbing the beauty of nature.
I would highly recommend Arlene's place and will definitely return on my next trip to Portland.
