Bob and Karen were the friendliest and most helpful hosts. They welcomed us at the door and took us to the back to show us our basement studio that used to be their art studio. The art was displayed across the unit, and we were amazed by the detail and creativity of the decor. It was by far the coolest place I've stayed in, and the location was perfect. Bob and Karen gave us some great suggestions on places to walk to for some beers and good food. They had also left a couple local beers in the fridge, which was the perfect way to jump into our taste tour of the city. At the end of the trip, my girlfriend Sheerin realized that she had forgotten her shirt in the studio, but before we even had a chance to contact Bob and Karen about it, they had already sent a message offering to mail it to us. Stay here if you can find an available date - my only wish is that I would have had more time in the place during our Portland visit.
