Rose’s place was a perfect place for our quick trip to Portland. Our daughter is a student at University of Portland and we came in just for a quick weekend visit to see her. Our other daughter (who lives in Seattle)came down for one night and the place was absolutely perfect for us. Rose has so many thoughtful touches… Wonderful little snacks, coffee and tea, and other food as well that not only made our stay easier but also made us feel very welcome! Though it is a basement apartment it is very bright and not at all dark or depressing like some basement apartments can be. The beds and other furnishings were very comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed and though I did not do any real cooking there I could have easily if I wanted to. I totally recommend the St. John’s hideaway to everyone! We will definitely look for it again on our next trip.
