Tom's house is the perfect stay in Portland! I booked pretty late and now I'm counting my lucky stars and shocked that I ended up with such a perfect place. Where do I begin? The check-in is an extremely simple process with the door code and private entrance, although Tom was home when I arrived and he kindly helped me with my suitcase. The accommodations are impeccably clean with the ambiance of a friend's house. You can tell Tom and his family have put effort into the rental space being a comfortable and welcoming space for guests, it's not just an extra room in someone's home. The bedroom has ample space, and a desk and closet, the bed is big enough for two, and comes with a white noise machine and a space heater. I'm a comfortably heavy sleeper and the morning noise mentioned in the listing was not a problem for me. The bathroom is clean, the shower is hot, and there's space to set out toiletries. I stayed for several days after being on the go a lot so it was nice to feel settled for several nights in a row. The location is perfect. I had a rental car (parking is ample, free, and easy) and this neighborhood was quickly drivable to everything I wanted to do in Portland. It was also walkable to several of the restaurants on my to-do list! And the neighborhood is so awesome to walk around, beautifully peppered with rose bushes and a lovely ambiance for a stroll. There was some decent nightlife in the area too, a short Lyft ride away took me to a little bit of bar hopping. Tom and his family are really relaxed; we interacted very little but when we did cross paths in the kitchen or driveway it was great to chat with them. All in all I cannot recommend this place highly enough and will absolutely stay here on my next trip.
