The location is incredibly convenient to all of East Portland as well as downtown. We rode our bikes almost everywhere. There was ample, easy parking on the street right in front of the house. The front porch was incredibly comfortable and relaxing. We love to cook and it was immediately apparent that so do Art and Bettina. We were able to cook just like we were at our own home. The back deck was equally relaxing and very quiet at night. We are used to sleeping with an AC on at night but the bedroom kept comfortably cool with the windows open and just a small fan (that we always travel with) blowing at night. The bedroom is shaded by large trees all day so there was never really a temperature issue for us. We had a wonderfully relaxing time and the home is pet friendly which is a must for us. It was a fantastic stay.
