If you're looking for a comfortable, clean, well appointed home, with a gracious host, this is it! My husband, one daughter, and myself stayed here while visiting Portland to attend the wedding of another daughter. We chose not to stay in the hotel with the other guests, because we prefer a little more space and a quieter experience.
I scoured the web for a place with good reviews that would fit our needs. We were pleasantly surprised with the home and its amenities. The beds were all very comfortable with nice linens and comforters. The towels in the bath were not cheap, thin, worn, or rough. They were plush, soft, and fresh smelling. Reatha had nice soaps and lotions in the bath and kitchen. She also had nice bodywash/bubble bath, shampoo, and conditioner in the tub/shower. There was a good supply of toilet paper, dish soap, and other necessary items.
While we didn't cook, the kitchen was very well equipped and you could easily prepare meals there. Reatha left a nice assortment of local coffee and teas. She also left bagels, cream cheese, jam, pancake mix, peanut butter, maple syrup, and orange juice. What a thoughtful bonus that was! We were able to have breakfast each morning without making a grocery run or getting dressed to go out.
The neighborhood was very quiet, but within walking distance of restaurants, bars, and other amenities. It was also near Mt. Tabor Park and we enjoyed hiking there. I'd guess it was about a mile to the park where there are lovely trails.
Last, but not least, the house was spotless!! We've rented many homes and this is the cleanest rental I've ever seen. I normally feel a little grossed out in hotel rooms and rental properties because you can't really be certain that things are clean. However, there was no question about the cleanliness of this house. True confession: I inspect baseboards, corners, under beds, and behind toilets! All were clean! I would not hesitate for any reason to stay here again.
