A cute little home that packs a big punch.
Where to start?! At the beginning of the "write a review process" they ask you to select one area that was "extra special" during your stay. It's a shame you can only check one, as I would have selected all of them for our stay.
Carissa has put a lot of thought and hard work into this home. It was so clean and had all of the right touches and attention to detail. Portland was the third stop along the way on our road trip from San Francisco to Vancouver, B.C., and the local beers in the fridge upon our arrival were exactly what we needed to unwind.
Everything was so warm and cozy inside. I grew up with Ralph Lauren bedding, and have it at home now, so I am spoiled in that sense. Finding a bed that "feels like home" is near impossible, and this bed managed to do that. So good that it was hard to get out of bed.
We found the guide and Portland magazines incredibly helpful as we navigated through the city. Make sure to check them out. The city, fall colors and views of Mt. Hood also didn't hurt! I don't know if we could have picked a better two-day stretch to pass through in terms of weather.
Thanks to Carissa for being such a great host. We'll be back, but next time for a longer stay!
