I had the most special trip to Portland because of Deborah. She made my daughter and I feel welcome the moment we pulled up in front of her house. We stayed in the upstairs suite which was charming and comfortable and the WiFi works great. I loved the South East quadrant neighborhood. You must spend some time on Hawthorne Street and then take a hike on Mount Tabor. It was quite easy to get anywhere from this house. Deborah has plenty of maps and gives excellent suggestions and directions. Do yourself a favor and take the bus downtown which you can catch just 2 blocks from this house; it is pleasant and easy. Her backyard is lovely, but more to the point, Deborah is lovely. I want to go back and stay at her house right now.
