Dave, Silke & Lucca are lovely hosts and their basement pied a terre is simply wonderful. Very clean and comfortable with all sorts of fun distractions (instruments, games, a movie screen with dvds, a hammock). Their house and yard are beautiful and the neighborhood in which they live is great for walks to view the older magnificient homes and also within walking distance of a Wednesday Farmer's Market, a bluff overlooking the Willamette River, and several cafes. My husband and I look forward to our next visit so that we can stay here again :)
