It's a basement space in a really nice neighborhood close to Reed College. A few blocks away there's a shopping area with restaurants, coffee houses and book stores. If you want to see the rest of Oregon or Washington, it's fairly easy to get out of town.
The unit itself has an extremely comfortable bed and there are some strikingly beautiful framed prints on the walls. The kitchen area is large but you do have to wash dishes in the bathroom sink.
The outdoor amenities are excellent---there's a hot tub, a covered deck and a nice backyard; I didn't get to use those as much as I would have liked, due to my schedule.
The hosts are extremely likable and welcoming. It was like meeting long-lost friends. I stayed nearly three weeks, and the place really started to feel like home to me.
