For our first visit to Portland, Norah’s “Hen House” was the perfect home away from home to host us. With skylights and many windows, the natural lighting was incredible. I also appreciated that there were trash, recycling, AND compost bins! With all the basic essentials provided, we were able to cook most of our meals, allowing us to be able to splurge on other activities besides cooking. There is also a washer / dryer unit that works great for tidying up your clothes after your Portland adventures! Check In is simple and efficient through a smart lock entry. Norah herself is very warm and hospitable, and quick to respond should you need to message her for any reason. Street parking is abundant and always available right beside the “Hen House.” Just note that the stairs to the bed loft are quite steep. So, if you have balance / back troubles, please bear this in mind. The most surprising and honestly best feature of the “Hen House” was how well insulated it is! Even if it’s chilly outside, you will be warm and cozy inside. I would absolutely recommend the “Hen House” as a must stay for anyone visiting Portland!
