Lorie's place or the rainbow house as our daughter called it is a gem in Portland. Lorie is a wonderful and fun host but she didn't even need to be because her place is so terrific. The apartment is cozy, clean, and the beds are super comfortable. We loved that there were two rooms and a kitchen so we could eat breakfast at home which is huge when you're on the road with a three year old.
We were here for 8 nights and found it to be a great home base for exploring the city and the neighborhoods. It's "in it" without being in it.
Lorie was really responsive to our needs, which weren't many because she had thought of everything.
If you are considering staying in Portland don't overlook this place. It is wonderful and we will be looking for the rainbow house on our next trip up here.
