We only stayed one night at John and Fran's place, but every moment was perfect! We arrived in Portland exhausted from a long day of travel. John and Fran's house was easy to get to from PDX. John greeted us warmly and provided us with the keys to the cottage. Our stay was happy and comfortable. We checked out the next morning after a great breakfast on Hawthorne and made our way to the coast. We would not hesistate to stay with John and Fran again!
