Our stay at Penelope's was just wonderful! It just so happened that our weekend visit to Portland coincided with the biggest snow and ice storm the city experienced in five years. A biiiiig portion of the city shut down, and going out and about in the city meant bundling up, getting cold feet, and shivers upon shivers. We were SO GRATEFUL to have such a warm, cozy nest in the city to call "home" during our stay. We made frequent, "warm up" trips back during the day, and it was always so pleasant to return to. And the proximity to Alberta St. and restaurants, etc. withing a short, snowy walk was even more appreciated than usual. Also, Penelope was kind enough to let us check out late our last day there when there were ice and freezing rain warnings. It DEFINITELY improved our final day in Portland. Not sure what we would have done otherwise.

Thank you for letting us stay -- it was wonderful and we'd come back in a heartbeat (preferably when it's not snowing).
