Felicity and Michael's place was absolutely amazing. This was our first time in Portland and I wasn't sure which neighborhood to stay in, but their place looked perfect, so I said why not? I couldn't be happier with the decision. Upon arrival we were greeted by Michael and his daughter who made us feel right at home. Michael was more than happy and patient enough to give us pointers on where to go and on what was in the area. After we unpacked, we headed up to Alberta Street which is very close by. Being close to Alberta Street was a huge plus, there is so much to do, like shopping, or dining, grabbing a beer, or a cup of coffee. Their place is located in such a great spot because you can pretty much drive to any neighborhood within 10 to 15 minutes, or walk to great spots in 10. I grew up going to hotels just like everyone else when I would visit a city. However, you miss out on the feeling of living in the neighborhoods and getting that authentic feel for the city. Staying at Michael and Felicity's place made us feel like we were staying with good friends. But at the same time their place was so quiet and peaceful, it felt like we were alone in the woods. We spent many hours just hanging out inside, especially on the loft. I loved getting up every morning with a cup of coffee and looking out at the neighborhood from there. We miss this place now that we are home, and we miss the city of Portland. We had an amazing time and I can't recommend their place enough. My wife and I can't wait to go back! Thank you so much for the amazing stay.
