This is the 2nd time we stayed in this lovely, spacious, and homey guest house. Our last visit was in December 2019, and when we saw that the guest house was available for our trip to Portland this December, we immediately reserved it. The home is maintained beautifully. It was as we remembered it 2 years ago. We appreciated the bagels and cake (among other food items) waiting for us when we arrived on Christmas Eve. Jennifer and James had offered to set up a Christmas tree for us, which was so thoughtful. A real home away from home-we didn't want to leave. It was great to have the washer and dryer and the clothing drying rack, tucked away and ready to use. The home has so many thoughtful touches such as the lighting by the kitchen counters and sink, the printer in the bedroom, and the many extra blankets and pillows. And we appreciated the artwork gracing the walls. Each piece caught our attention. And as with our first stay, checking in and checking out and communicating with Jennifer and James was seamless. We hope to stay with you again. Thank you Jennifer and James for providing the space to spend a lovely Christmas week in NE Portland!
