We had a lovely stay at Paula's place - it was beautiful, comfortable, clean, AIR CONDITIONED (yes, we were there during the heatwave), well stocked. The bed was nice, waking up and looking at Mt St Helens was a lovely way to get started. We also loved the easy access to Forest Park, literally steps away. Paula gave us a quick breakdown of the different trails readily accessible from her house, and we were treated with some beautiful strolls through forests and along Balch Creek.
The neighborhood is great. Nice homes tucked away alongside the hill, but super easy access to all of the foods and treats along the 23rd corridor.
All in all, a wonderful place with a great host.
