Lovely home, magical yard. The hot tub was as amazing as it looks, and the star gazing was surprisingly great.
Super quiet block 15 mins’ drive from airport. We had our pick of food and drink options within 15 minutes’ walk, particularly on Alberta St., and ventured out on foot every day of our stay. Beautiful neighborhood gardens in every direction along the way.
Well-stocked, organized and cozy kitchen and living area. Tap water tasted great. Great book collection for kids and adults, though be advised there is no TV in the house. Kids’ play room on the main floor came in handy for the new mom among us, who set up a changing table in there. Slept well thanks in part to A/C and light-cancelling blinds in the bedrooms. Be patient with the anemic upstairs faucet and downstairs toilet. Great upstairs shower.
We didn’t end up using the studio guest house but it affords privacy for work, rest or play. We were intimidated by the pull-down ladder to the bed in the loft, but it may make for a fun adventure for a kid or teen.
This home made our friend reunion one to remember and served as a great home base for exploring Portland for the first time on foot and by car.
