We really enjoyed our time at Victoria's house in the 5 1/2 months we were there while our house was being renovated. Part of what we enjoyed was the house itself -- warm and cozy with good light -- all major plusses for the endless PDX rainy season -- and part of that was how great Victoria was. Victoria was really flexible and very responsive and, in general in ways large and small, she was a fantastic host. We also really loved the park, which is less than a block away.
