We had a lovely time at Larissa's comfy home. She was quick to respond to questions, my kids enjoyed the board games and books, and the comfy beds were a relief after several nights on the road. Walked to a couple of delicious spots on Hawthorne for casual dinners, based on the list of dining recs at the house. The drive to downtown isn't long so it was easy to explore and make the most of our time in Portland.
