The house was peaceful and relaxed. My time in Portland, unfortunately, was frenetic and fraught with work. However, the room provided by Chris and her family let me come home to a quiet retreat to unwind, de-stress and sleep soundly with calm music and clean surroundings.
Though I admit some effort on my part in getting up the ladder (I'm 61) to the loft bed, Chris accommodated me by making up the sofa into a futon on the main floor. Made all the difference. Thanks! :)
