Unfortunately I came in later than the rest of my group but Dave was kind enough to show my friends around on the first day and also came the next day to see how I was doing. The neighborhood is charming and so is the basement suite! Lots to keep guests entertained in the suite and lots of places within walking distance to eat. I loved that there were bicycles available for us to use as well, which we did use to get to the convenience store. We ended up using a cab to get downtown (about 4-5 miles away) and rented a car to get to Multnomah falls. There was also a cute handmade guide to Portland that gave us some ideas of what to visit. Overall it was a great experience. Thanks, Dave and Silke for opening your home.
