The moment my boyfriend and I walked up to the house and saw Lori and Podji, we felt so welcomed and comfortable. Lori took us on a quick tour of her home and explained where everything was, and she had so many things to make us feel at home (a fridge, a living room space, laundry/dryer, heaters). Lori was always there to answer quick questions about local places to eat, and fun hiking spots, but she also respected our privacy as well. Our downstairs space was immaculately clean, comfortable, and inviting. We had a great time in Portland, and we will definitely stay with her again if we return.
