Our favorite mode of travel would be by"thumbprint". That would be explained by picking an area, settling in and exploring it. In other words you become imbedded in the place, walking and enjoying the quiet of the neighborhood, looking at local homes and amazing gardens (that display nothing short of pride of ownership) as well as greeting friendly cats. So that by the time you are ready to disembark you want to weep because you have invested part of yourself and you feel like there has been some consequences to your presence of being.
At Portland Wings BnB we felt at home from the get go. The accommodations are fresh, newly decorated, with no evidence of wear and tear nor appliances/fixtures that don't work. So the place is Perfect. The best part of facilities would be that our 85 year old mother was comfortable, safe and without fear, with a walk in shower that had a hand rail.
Our host and hostess where delightful, warm, genuine, happy to have us, accommodating, helpful, and shared treats with us, like... their time, knowledge, wi-fi access, chocolates, coffee and an evening together sharing life stories.
While being in a new place, it is nice to know that collectively we made the world a better place, found a wonderful abode to return to. With respect to the Curtis' they more than met my expectations of what this experience might have been like.
Would we return to WingsBnB? In a heart beat. Love and thanks, John
