This is a lovely, character-filled, charming home located in what could only be described as the historic part of downtown Portland. Usually this house is rented out to larger groups, but luckily, there was a vacancy last minute and my dear friend and I were able to stay a night in this breathtaking home and district. Checking in was a breeze and the host is incredibly kind and communicative! The room we stayed in was cozy, and had full bunkbeds, not twin...full! It was pretty awesome. However, no worries---if you're anti-bunkbeds, there are other rooms available in the house!

There is free parking available, but do note, it is very compact. I certainly wouldn't want drive a suburban, SUV, or van, when staying at Historic Hafner Haus!

The house is walking distance from some beautifully landscaped, small and intimate parks. There are some lovely restaurants I recommend you check out as well, Barlow Artisanal Bar and Teardrop Lounge. Oh, and if you're anything like me (a bibliophile to the very core), go check out Powell's Books---you won't be diappointed, and you may just not ever leave. Period!

Checking out is really the only area I might offer some constructive feedback on. Luckily, we only stayed one night, so we barely made an imprint on the house itself! But if we had stayed longer, my friend and I were unsure if we would have had to strip our beds (because we made them ourselves)? If we showered, where would she want us to leave dirty towels? If we had cooked, would we need to load the dishes in the dishwasher and press start (or wait for her to, so someone can be st the house while the dishwasher is running?

Overall, it was a complete pleasure to stay at the Historic Hafner Haus! I would definitely go back!
