Stephen was very prompt in communication with me. He was there to greet us, walked us through the house guidebook, things to do, directions, suggestions etc. The house is in a great location to lots of interesting restaurants and the Ladd district is beautiful to walk through with the gorgeous historic homes and rose gardens. Blocks away from street cars which we took into downtown. Stephen knows Portland well. He is also very passionate about his historic house as he should be given he's done all the improvements himself. Shared the story of the original owners which the house is named after. He has a fascinating life story himself to share which was quite a pleasure to sit and hear over Manhattans (one of my husbands favorite cocktail). Thank you Stephen!
