My team and I used Mary-Yoko's place for a recent summer staff retreat and had a wonderful experience. Mary-Yoko was kind enough to accommodate our request to start early in the morning (8:30am) rather than checking in at 3pm. She even put a pot of coffee on so it would be fresh and hot for when everyone arrived. Mary-Yoko personally met me on the first day to show me around and make sure we had everything we needed. The space itself was very clean and the windows facing the trees provided a beautiful backdrop for a peaceful and productive retreat. The location is great too. The house is tucked away in the hills, but only about a 20 minute walk to tons of shops and restaurants on NW 23rd. Though none of us stayed overnight, the bedroom was roomy and nicely made up. Mary-Yoko was a fabulous host that communicated well and took great care of us. I would highly recommend anyone stay here if they're looking for a peaceful getaway that's still accessible to a great neighborhood in Portland.
