Carie's place is perfect for the traveler who wants a comfortable place among kind people. They're friendly and giving, and they'll leave you to yourself if you like, but if you're looking for total peace and quiet, do remember you're staying in their home and they live there. The bed is ridiculously comfy, and if you leave the curtains closed, it will get quite dark. I found myself sleeping in a bit, haha. I certainly enjoyed my stay and would love to stay there again next time I'm in Portland.
