I knew this space was unique, but actually being there and experiencing it was another thing. Dave and Silke were awesome hosts. I really enjoyed our brief visits, only brief because we were tired and on the go. We were invited to a bonfire gathering, but had settled into a movie on the big screen. The neighborhood is so welcoming and gorgeous. Very, very close to downtown Portland and the Zoo. My six-year-old grandson wanted to move there, not only because of the park and drum lesson, or the lending library, or the sparkling lights outside, or the sidewalk chalk........you get the idea. Brand new kitchen, I only wish that I had planned to cook there. We made ourselves at home here, and we truly felt like we were right at home. I am trying to find an excuse to get back to Portland! Thank you Dave and Silke for putting so much love and care into your home.
