Marie and Chad's place is really lovely and quiet as well as beautifully decorated. The home/yard attached is beautiful and they have a little, private patio too! It was also sweet of Marie to pop some half and half in the fridge for me to go with my morning coffee. She was quick to make sure I had gotten in and all was well. Be prepared though that there are some rather vicious sounding and looking dogs very close to the entrance right next door that might bark when you go in the gate. Other than the initial going in, I only heard and saw them once or twice during the two days I was there. It was just a surprise! Marie was quick to let me know they were safe when I texted but I would have liked to have known before I got there. While they have done a lovely job with their air b and b, it's not the safest part of Portland to stay in if you are a gal traveling on your own or have a lot of things in your car you are traveling with. They accommodated my concern quickly though by letting me back my car up to the gate in the driveway.
