This place is in a great location between hawthorne and division street so there are various delicious restaurants nearby. The neighborhood is quiet and noise was not a concern. Its a little house in a fenced backyard which provides some privacy. We kept the drapes open to enjoy natural light and a view of the little garden patio area. The house had everything we needed, was clean, and comfortable. The host was responsive and not at all intrusive. We would love to stay here again when we return to Portland in the future. Highly recommend.
