I had a wonderful time in Portland, and Mari’s place was in the perfect location! Her garden is magical and I loved seeing and smelling all of the flowers! I loved meeting her kitties, and Mari gave a wonderful hiking/waterfall recommendation which was one of the highlights of my entire trip. The rain shower was also great! I felt like I had a lot of privacy and felt very safe- which is a must whenever traveling alone. I was a little nervous having the bathroom/sink/etc. across the yard, but it wasn’t a big deal at all. I had everything I needed, and frankly, probably overpacked a little. Mari even had crocs available, which were very helpful walking to the Moon House since the weather was more rainy than usual. I had a lovely and comfortable stay and would recommend Mari’s place to anyone who is looking for a quiet and comfortable place to recharge during their Portland adventures!
