Sara & Willie have SUCH an amazing home/yard, and they were warm & welcoming from start to finish!! I wanted a perfect space for my parents to stay while they were visiting me in PDX from Iowa - and they absolutely adored their own, quiet, tranquil area that Sara & Willie beautifully provided for them. We were greeted with cherries in the fridge, cold water, & freshly made (by Sara) date bars, and later she brought us freshly picked strawberries from her garden - YUM! My boyfriend & I made a healthy, hearty dinner for my parents, and we ate on their picnic table in the garden surrounded by hummingbirds. My mom & I used their FREE bikes to explore the awesome neighborhood & nearby parks/gardens... everything about this place was perfect, MUCH better than having to stay in a hotel or deal with noise & traffic. We could all just relax & ENJOY their time in Portland... traveling can be exhausting, Sara & Willie's place was REJUVENATING. :)
