My family and I had a great time in Portland. We felt very welcomed by James. We met Clarissa briefly and she was lovely also. After traveling all day we really appreciated the wine and snacks when we arrived. Traveling with two kids (6&10 yrs old), we had plenty of space in the apartment and it had everything we could need. It was very easy to get around town to the sights and it was a bonus have such a great park in walking distance.
