Yes, it wasn't about my visit to Portland on July the 4th.
It definitely was about me visiting Rhonda and Doug.
Agreed, their place is top-notch by design- Rhonda strikes a variety of minimalism<>art balance across each room. But to me, it meant much more than another comfy airbnb stay. It was about the great conversations Rhonda, Doug and I had out on the deck, the crackling laughters together, witnessing the firecrackers launch off with a distant glory, the walk on the road talking about life and the world in general.
For a 28 year old, I feel extreme gratitude towards the both of them for sharing their wisdom with me. If you want a great stay at Portland - yes, this is definitely among the top comfortable & appealing places you can find!
But you want more - great memories to look back and cherish - THIS IS the place to be.
Looking forward to next time,
