Beau and his home are magical! Everything about this experience was genuine and authentic. His home is an arts and crafts home from the late 1800's. Our apartment with its' own entrance had the soul of the original home and beautiful updates. It is well appointed with original art, oriental carpets, funky light fixtures and plenty of seating. The kitchen and bath are that combination of old and new that honors the home but treats you with luxury. High end cabinetry with a cozy breakfast nook that I loved. Stained glass window and yellow gold subway tile shower with 'to die for' water pressure and quality body and hair products. My bedroom was the same with a memory foam mattress and pillow soft duvet in a space that felt like a sanctuary. We were around the corner from coffee bars, trendy shopping, great restaurants, drinking establishments and a fun place we gathered to play pool. All within walking distance and without parking hassles. My son and I walked to the Pearl District and the Arboretum/Rose Garden/(closed for renovation)Japanese Garden. The best part of this experience was Beau. He made us feel like royalty and family at the same time. he was there to greet us, make us feel comfortable, surprise us with extras (including late night beverages) and even brought us coffee the morning of our departure. He is as practical as the umbrellas in the entryway and as sweet as the home baked banana bread he offered us. I love new experiences but this is the place I will call home when I come to Portland.
