Artful, Studio rustico con doccia a 5 stelle --- Etica sostenibile, 20 minuti dal centro

And great guests! We are so lucky here that we attract people who are lovely to host.

Glad to hear. You guys are the best. Come back any time.

We are glad we could be a welcoming part at the beginning of your Portland adventure. All best.

Oh my--so glad we could help make some Portland magic for you. Come back any time. Our welcome mat will always be out and swept clean. *_*

Glad you like Auntie's. It truly is a hideaway, and we very much enjoyed hosting you. Come back any time!

Right on--definitely no mold in Auntie's as our proper aunt whose bedroom this studio used to be would have never tolerated it. We've been doing right here at The Johnson House for 3 generations and plan to keep on keeping up! So pleased you folks enjoyed your stay with us.

Glad you enjoyed your stay Michelle.

Great hosting you and Michelle, Keith, and glad you folks enjoyed Portland and coming home to Auntie's each evening. Happy trails.

Great hosting you folks!

Haley & Danny--You guys are the best. So glad you felt at home here in Auntie's. Rest assured our welcome mat will always be out for you. Jean & Family

I'm not sure what Ivan means by being "very hands on." We have always met our guests in person and had them fill out the log book which is required by the City of Portland. To us it seems part of the homestay welcome, and Ivan wanting a "contactless check in" seems odd and off-putting to us. More he didin't mention it when he inquired, as if he would have, we would have suggested he look elsewhere. We are friendly and welcoming here at our house. Guests have their own entrance and after our first welcome meeting, we often don't see guests again. We do, however, want to meet in person whoever is staying here at our home. All I can say is "what is this younger generation coming to!"

Thanks for the nice words Jim. We enjoyed hosting you as well.

Thanks for your review, Tanya. Yes, our neighborhood is entirely safe for strolling and running in the mornings and after dark as well. We love it here--especially since nearby Sandy Boulevard makes getting around town so easy. We're not sure what you were expecting for a safe, crime-free residential area with ample parking, but it is about 20 minutes to downtown from here.

Ahh Melissa. Most of my charming guests get it, but some really, really do. What can I say other than, "It takes two to tango!"

Hey Deneese, Thanks for your nice remarks on Auntie's. We so enjoyed hosting you and Kevin for your anniversary. A couple, things, though--We do host people traveling with children here and as you might have noted, our street has a number of families with young kids. And secondly, the stairs that go downstairs to Auntie's are regular stairs and up to code entirely. We wouldn't characterize them as "steep." Rather they are a solidly built set of stairs with a sturdy handrail, skidded steps, and beautifully painted walls. In other words, "finished" and appropriate. ...Just wouldn't other guests to be frightened away by the word steep. Indeed, to operate we have had everything inspected by the City and our stairway downstairs is considered several cuts above the average. Best, Jean Johnson & Family

Glad you felt at home in Auntie's Hideaway. Our welcome mat will always be out for you!

We are glad you folks enjoyed your stay in Auntie's. We think the studio is "quirky & cute" too!

Thanks for your comments, Mary. We enjoyed you folks and your larger family too. It was great meeting everyone. We're also glad you liked staying with us and found Auntie's just ticket while you visited family. Our welcome mat will always be out for you should you come this way again. Jean & Family

Esther and Brent were delightful guests: friendly, courteous, and took good care of our studio. Our welcome mat will always be out for this lovely couple.

Great hosting Brandon. A good family man, he was friendly, courteous, and took great care of our studio. He is more than welcome back any time.
