If you are ever looking for a gem of a home away from home, this is it. We live in Portland and needed to escape our house while work was being done on it. We lucked out with this place. It provided the calming environment we needed, and it is a short walk from Trader Joe's, New Season's (Slabtown- it's HUGE!), Freddy's, and many restaurants we wanted to try (take out!). As massive cooks we really liked that the kitchen was stocked well enough with equipment that we were able to make king cake. I know that if I ever want to escape my family I will come back to here if it's available.
