Ocean's place is across from an absolutely stunning park, with huge evergreens and lots of grass. There is also a New Season's natural market nearby. The location really couldn't be any better. She welcomed us with a sweet note upon arrival, since she was not at home to greet us live, as well as wine and chocolate - thoughtful touches! Ocean provided excellent communication to make sure we knew how to get there and to see if we needed anything throughout our stay. The place itself is wonderful. I agree with other reviewers that the pictures don't do it justice. It is colorful, cozy and clean. It had everything we needed, including a super comfortable bed. I loved the little private courtyard for doing my morning yoga practice, as well as for just lounging. It also has an excellent kitchen for cooking. We will definitely stay here again on a return trip to Portland!
