Joanne is a wonderful host! She is respectful, has tons of suggestions for activities, etc, her home is warm and inviting. I loved the private entrance and private bathroom as well as the beautiful flower gardens and outside patio seating. I needed a place to stay for a month as I relocated to Portland and I found the perfect place! I was so pleased to have a place to stay that was quiet, clean, comfortable with a host that was very respectful of my space and her space and yet very available to share experiences and life stories. Thanks Joanne!
