A wonderful Portlandia experience - from the friendly neighbors to the crouching bear statue across the street that made driving home a snap. Kerry's home had it all - charm, a functional and well equipped kitchen, a garden to die for and the quintessential bungalow front porch where we all gathered to soak in the periodic but welcome sunshine. The chocolate bars and perfectly tuned piano were unexpected joys and the walk-to-everything neighborhood with its great bars and restaurants made this Portland visit a complete success. One of our party immediately ID'ed it as the perfect choice for her sister's wedding party. We would LOVE to come back, Kerry, and hope you will have us. Wendy and Dan
