We loved our stay at Andy's place! It was perfect for our trip to Portland. There are so many positive things to say about the hosts and the home.
First, the hosts were fabulous! The local guide document which they put together was extensive! Eating out is always a big part of our trips. We love to eat like locals and enjoy the food and atmosphere for our locale, and it was so helpful to have so much information specific to the neighborhood in which we were staying. They also provided information on Portland and the surrounding areas in their document as well as many maps and travel info/ magazines on the area. Communication with the hosts was always easy, and replies were prompt. They provided everything we could possibly need.
Second, the house was perfect for our needs. The location is in a great neighborhood that has many close options for eating. Our son would live on pizza if we allowed it, so our first dining experience was Blackbird pizza - loved that we could walk to it. And walkable describes the area concerning so many things that we wanted to do: we walked to places where we wanted dine, get coffee, and shop, including the specific comic book store we were planning to check out for our daughter who couldn't make the trip herself. But when we were ready to leave the neighborhood, it was literally only a few minutes drive to get to other places. Downtown Portland, Mt. Tabor, and other neighborhoods were all about a 10 minute drive from the house. When we would return home from sightseeing, parking on the street was always available. Inside the home itself, we had the space we want for our family when traveling. Anything we could need was provided. One of my favorite things was enjoying the many fun retro collectibles in the home - so much personality! I could go on but will close with I highly recommend the home and hosts and would definitely stay here again!
