The location of this house is wonderful . Although it is off a main street ( corner lot)- it is in a quiet/safe/quaint neighborhood with wonderful bakeries/shops and even a .25 arcade down the street along with multiple restaurants offering up different cuisines. You can walk to Fred Meyer ( grocery store) and most shops/eateries which was wonderful ! It was close to Mt Tabor Park and within walking distance . We were around 15 minutes from downtown Portland ( Pearl District) by car and easily traveled. The house itself is quite charming and old ( so quirky)... It can be drafty but the heat works well as the radiant heaters found in all the bedrooms so we were very comfortable during our visit. The shower heated up quickly and had great water flow. The beds in all 3 bedrooms were very comfortable and the pillows/sheets were great! The stove is old ( all propane) but heats up well/quickly ... The stairs are typical old/Victorian steeper type stairs ( as advertised) and the ceiling going upstairs is lower so if you are not paying attention ( and are over 6 ft tall)- you can easily bang your head when walking up the stairs ( yes, this happened to us) so just be careful ! The game nook in the front alcove is a wonderful place to sit in the morning with a cup of coffee and look out over the neighborhood ... We had a lot of fun family time during our visit and made memories that will last a lifetime !
