Valerie's place is now our favorite place to stay in Portland. The location was close to everything we wanted to visit. I don't think we spent more than 20 minutes driving to places like Powell's, Forest Park and Hawthorne St. Fremont St. is rad and within walking or biking distance.
I got a chance to meet Valerie, and she's fantastic. Communication was quick and easy, and she did a great job of documenting everything we needed to know about the rules and how-to's for appliances and such.
The loft is full of thoughtful touches and great design: the soaps are high quality, the sheets and bed were soft, comfy and warm, the towels were hotel quality.
We had a great stay, and we'll come back.
