Hilary is a very nice host. Her place was exactly what I expected. The rooms were cozy and clean with lots of thoughtful extra touches (she really thought of everything - ex. White noise machine). I chose this place initially due to its proximity to my reason for travel in Portland. Although after I arrived I was very happy with my choice because the house was in a very lovely neighborhood with very well kept historical homes. I was visiting without a car and I was easily able to access good coffee shops and restaurants on foot. Hilary’s dogs are friendly and so is her son! Very nice place to stay, would recommend!
