Jodie's home is an oasis of tranquility in a lovely neighbourhood, ideally placed for everything that the wonderful city of Portland offers. Sitting in her front garden was a delight and then walking to one of the many excellent restaurants and bars made this all an delightful experience. (The nearby Urdaneta restaurant served tapas and sherry which was every bit as good as anything we found during our recent trip to Northern Spain). Comfortable beds and a kitchen stocked by someone who clearly loves cooking made for an extremely enjoyable 4 days stay. Jodie sensibly nudged us away from firing up the pizza oven in the hot weather. We love the laid back feeling in Portland, particularly enjoying the Japanese Garden and the amazing Multnomath Falls. We will be back...
