I arranged to stay in Taizz's guesthouse at the last minute and am so grateful that she accepted my late request. Taizz is a most gracious and helpful host. She welcomes you into her house as a person would welcome a friend. She is very helpful and even accompanied me through the neighborhood by bike to orient me to the environment. The house is comfortable and quiet and the surrounding garden offers a sense of peace and well-being. I thank her once again for her hospitality and contact her again if my travels take me to Portland.
