June 19 - July 17, 2021
Flight changes delayed our arrival until after midnight. Kathleen was great about working with our son who lives in Portland to get us in at such a late hour. She was equally helpful in answering all of our questions over the first few days.
With school ending the day before our arrival, my wife and I were in Portland for the month to care for our three young grandchildren. That allowed their parents to focus on their full time jobs without worrying about child care. We had not seen them for a year and a half due to Covid 19, so it was a pleasure to spend each day with them getting reacquainted.
The accommodations were ideal for our needs = a clean, comfortable, quiet spot where we could relax and recharge our batteries for another 12 hour day engaging with three 4 and 5 year olds. It offers a quiet neighborhood, proximity to food markets and restaurants, A/C during the five day stretch when the high temps in Portland ranged between 95 and a record breaking 114 degrees (!!!), and new washer and dryer which we used multiple times. We did not eat any lunches or dinners there as we were spending the whole day at our son’s house, but the kitchen was well-equipped.
We are interested in returning next year.
