The Rosebud Room was absolutely perfect and Hilary is an amazing host. The room is very comfortable and the next door bath and shower room had everything you might need including a complimentary box of toiletries. The house is on a quiet street but a two minute walk north or south to bars, shops and restaurants. Public Transport in Portland is superb - and really cheap - so you can easily get anywhere from this location. Bear and Nina (the dogs) are adorable and take to strangers very quickly. But Hilary is what makes this such a good place to stay. The added touches (including snacks, chocolate and coffee) as well as her excellent local knowledge and her warm sense of humour made this a truly remarkable visit.
