Kyra’s place is just like Kyra, warm, welcoming and beautiful. She really went the extra mile to accommodate my every want and need. I got in hours before check-in time and she told me not to worry but to come by as soon as I landed. After a long flight filled with anticipatory dread over where I would kill hours with my luggage, it was such a great relief to be able to go to the apartment straight from the airport.
I actually have two stays booked at Kyra’s place as I am travelling to another state for several days. Rather than rent the place our, Kyra blocked the dates out so I could leave my luggage there the whole time and not have to worry about the stress of checking in or out at a certain time. So sweet and caring.
When I got to her home, it felt like I was at an incredibly beautiful and peaceful spa somewhere and not in a residential neighborhood. The entire property is lush and gorgeous, there’s even a Japanese carp pond by the entrance to the apartment. You’ll be tempted to just stay outside and enjoy the nature but go inside bc it is just as awesome
The apartment is spotless and everything is top of the line. I was greeted with a large bouquet of flowers from Kyra’s garden. It was a great touch for a tired traveller. Everything and I do mean everything is there to make your stay absolute perfection. A fully equipped kitchen with stove, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, toaster and keurig coffee maker. Cold bottled water in the fridge. Thick fluffy towels with organic soap and shampoo in the bathroom. Washer and dryer with soap. I needed a bandaid and was gonna walk to the convenience store but Kyra had a bunch in the medicine chest.
I know it sounds like I am gushing over my experience and I am, mostly because of Kyra! In the past, I had stayed in a 3 br suite at the Portland Mayor’s Mansion on the other side of Laurelhurst Park with my family. We adored the place and the owner but when it became unavailble, I was concerned about where I would stay that would come close to the Mansion. My concerns were totally unfounded as Kyra’s place IS as wonderful as the mansion
It was hard to leave even for 4 daya, don’t know how I will do it when I leave the next stay
