My family group of 5 people stayed for two nights at this house while on a quick visit to Portland. The location was ideal--it was walking distance to Powell's bookstore and the Japanese garden, two places we knew that we wanted to spend time. The neighborhood was nice, and it was a pleasant surprise to find a very good grocery store just a block away. The house was spacious and clean, with four bedrooms (3 upstairs and 1 on the main level), and bathrooms on both levels, and we enjoyed being able to spend time together around the large kitchen table. The beds were comfortable. On the downside, the house was a bit cold. There were no instructions about the heating, and each room had a separate heating unit, although we never found one in the kitchen. Even after figuring them out and turning them up individually in each room, I still thought it felt cold, especially in the kitchen. The kitchen wasn't as well stocked with pots/pans/cooking implements as I would have expected for such a nice large place. The neighbors in the basement apartment below us were quite noisy until well after 11pm. Overall, it was a good place to stay.
