At Rhonda and Doug's house, we had the entire basement to ourselves. The bed and the air matress were very comfortable. We had access to the washer and dryer, which were very handy as we hiked a lot. There was a coffee maker with delicious coffee, and next to it, we found a lot of useful books on hiking in the state parks and things to do in Portland. On Thanksgiving, our hosts set a beautiful table for us, and let me use all their kitchen equipment and their enviable collection of spices.
