Staying at Felicity and Michael's guesthouse was truly one of the best part of my visit.
Their home with the guesthouse next to it is located in a nice residential area. It's only a short and easy bus ride to the Convention Center from where one can explore the city. Upon arrival from the airport I had a hard time finding the bust stop and Michael immediately offered me a ride to their home. Their garden is lush and offers relaxing moments outside. Their guesthouse is AMAZING! It is super clean, very tastefully furnished, equipped with best quality appliances and kitchenware. While it feels like staying in a showcase designer home, because it is so beautiful the guesthouse is also full of personal touches, Michael and Felicity's art work is all over the place among many other super cool decorative objects. Many times after a long day of my conference I decided to go back and relax in their guesthouse because it is so comfortable and inviting. I'm very happy that I got to meet Felicity, Michael and their daughter Becket. They were all very friendly, made sure I have everything I needed, answered my questions but still left plenty of privacy for me. Staying with them really made my visit to Portland special.
I hope I can visit them again.
