I love animals, cooking, good design, travel, music. I was in the restaurant business years ago, and now I own & run two natural pet stores (Portland ME and Boston MA). Most of my apartments welcome pets. I believe people who care for animals make for good human beings (and guests!). As a host, it gives me so much pleasure to share Portland and these apartments, which I've owned for many years, with this community of thoughtful & interesting people from all over the world. As a guest, I love seeing how other people live and I'll treat your home with the same respect I'd want in my own.
