Our stay at the Little Blue House was delightful. The listing is accurate in every way, and Maura was great at communicating. I wish we'd gotten to meet face to face, but we were in Portland for a wedding and surrounding events and coordinating a time proved difficult. But her values -- generosity; an eye for simple, good design; and anticipating the needs and desires of others -- are everywhere reflected in the home she's created for travelers.
The SE location is excellent. There's of course Lyft and Uber (and the friendly, reliable Radio Cab), but we walked to and from La Moule, Broder, and Pok Pok for excellent meals. There's a wonderful grocery store very nearby should one want to utilize the dreamy, well-equipped kitchen. (I left Portland with severe toaster envy.) The immediate neighborhood is replete with rose gardens and feels very safe and secure.
The purpose of our trip was joyful enough, but having this cozy private nest as our base made our time in Portland truly memorable. So grateful to Maura and Vincent for sharing this wonderful place.
