Beva's place is spacious and retains its historic character, and is well located in inner NE Portland - with buses and light rail easily accessible. The beds were wonderfully comfortable, the house was clean and warm when we arrived, Beva was very responsive throughout - all very appreciated.
On a slightly less positive note, the house could do with a new coat of paint and less tired-looking furniture. It's a beautiful house and this would make it shine. One would have felt more welcome had there been a welcome note and instructions re: thermostat, TV, etc. Light bulbs were out and a sink was blocked. Beva sorted these immediately but this should have been done in advance. It had snowed a couple of days before we arrived, the path and steps to the front door were dangerously slipperly. While it might have been difficut for someone to come by and clear them, a warning or apology would have been appropriate.
