Connor is an excellent host, checking in with the perfect frequency to make sure all was well. The home is in a very good location in Portland (walking distance to Belmont & Hawthorne restaurants & shops and also to Laurelhurst Park), but being right on Belmont, we multiple times had folks rummaging through the trash bins (and even coming up on the front porch!) overnight, which I imagine wouldn't have been such an issue on a quieter corner. The house is recently redone, with a well-stocked kitchen and large dining room. Curtains are sheer in bedrooms, so bring sleeping masks if needed. Overall, we had a great stay!
