My partner and I had a fantastic time in Portland and largely attributed it to staying with Thomas and Phyllis. The location is super convenient (as in, extremely close to the most delicious tacos in Portland) and also very 'safe' - it really felt like a community. The garden in the front is AMAZING.
We were pleasantly surprised with the size of space as we had actually anticipated it to be much smaller based on the pictures. We had more than enough room and made use of the whole area. Having coffee ready to go in the morning is a nice touch too! Towels were fresh (and they even brought down extra!), and we had a bathroom to ourselves.
I would highly recommend staying here if you have the chance; it feels like you're staying with family members (the ones that you actually like). Also, extremely cute dogs!!
