This was the perfect place to land for a three-day yoga and writing workshop I attended in Portland. Fantastic, diverse, friendly neighborhood with all my needs within walking distance. I loved walking to and from breakfast each morning and meeting friendly neighborhood cats along my way. The room itself is wonderful. Clean as can be, with everything I needed for my stay within easy access. I tend to be a private person and never even met Jere, although I knew she was available had I had questions. I was a little concerned about noise, but both the neighborhood and the house were very quiet, allowing me to write without distraction. I found myself dreaming up reasons to come back here and have vowed to eschew hotel lodging from now on! Thank you, Jere, for being such a gracious host.
