We enjoyed our stay at Bob and Karen's place during our short, one night stop-over in Portland. Bob was very hospitable, even kindly helping us out late in the evening when we botched the lock-box opening upon arrival. The place is fun and uniquely decorated, with a beautiful, small yard out back. As mentioned, there's some noise from the unit above, but it wasn't intrusive and didn't disturb our sleep. I would definitely stay here again, and would recommend it to anyone visiting Portland who is looking to stay in a fun, artistic, well situated place.
