The day we arrived Portland had taken a sharp turn from summer into fall. The welcome rain brought a crisp sweetness to the air. Our stay in the little house was a reunion of lifetime friends. We enjoyed a walk in the neighborhood, delighting in the creative Halloween decorations. In the other direction cafes were close by, including an elegant Ethiopian restaurant. The location was convenient to the airport and to downtown Portland by car. The house itself perfectly functional, with a better than average kitchen. Everything was super clean, and with no carpeting to collect allergens. We were challenged to share the single bathroom, but managed very well. Beds were comfortable and towels ample. Each bedroom had its own HVAC unit with remote control.
All in all a delightful weekend, thanks in part to the house!
