My wife and I stayed four nights in Portland to explore the city and surrounding area. It was our first time in the Northwest. Emily and Adam have a very stylish home that reflects their lives that is nearing the completion of a full remodeling. The location is very well located for visiting downtown Portland, finding great local restaurants, and handy to get most everywhere in the Portland area. We enjoyed our stay at the Food Lovers Dream in Designer House.

Emily and Adam were very congenial and it was a delight to visit with them. We were able to visit with them three of four evenings after we returned from our adventures. We also enjoyed talking with Adam’s father who was visiting while we were there. Everyone made sure we were comfortable and had the things we needed. Donut and Cowbear (their dog and cat) were friendly but not overly friendly.

Emily and Adam were very helpful and kind hosts. They shared their kitchen with us and Adam helped me with my morning coffee fix. We requested and they generously took time to give us great recommendations that included restaurants, wineries, hiking, sightseeing, and the downtown farmers market. The restaurant Emily suggested we go to when we arrived was spot on. They even went out of their way to get the name of a restaurant in the Mount Hood area that had food which matched the first restaurant. Our hiking and sightseeing in the Hood River and Mount Hood areas benefited from Adam and Emily’s suggestions. We visited the Multnomah Falls and were able to hike a less crowded loop which had additional waterfalls. The little gift of nourishment that they left for us when we had to leave at 3:30 am final morning to make our flight was very thoughtful and much appreciated. Thanks to Emily and Adam for a great stay in Portland!
