Great location! We walked all over the place. As everyone states it is so close to many great restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, bars, etc. Its also a great spot to visit anything around the city by car. Very short drives to everything. We took many day trips out of Portland to Mt Hood, the coast and Hood River, and we found it fairly easy to wind through the neighborhoods to get onto highways. The house is old and quirky as mentioned but in a comfortable way. Plenty of space for our family of four. We cooked meals several nights and found everything we needed in the kitchen. Cozy living room to hang out in the evening. Michael was very responsive when we communicated with him before check in. Thanks again Michael!
