Excellent.
A great space for two couples to spend a weekend in Portland. Bright light-filled great-room and adjoining kitchen/dining area, decks on both front and back of house to have coffee in mornings or wine in the evenings. Well equipped kitchen. Intriguing architecture and stylistic details surround you. The photos don’t do it justice.

We never met our host during the weekend we stayed, but because she owns the restaurant downstairs, we never had far to go to ask any questions. The process of coming and going was very easy.

The neighborhood and location are ideal. Several fine restaurants within a half a block (three of which are owned by our host). The little bar across the street (Expatriate) offers inventive cocktails. It’s just two short blocks to the Alberta Street corridor, which is amazing. And two blocks to a New Seasons Market, (a local version of Whole Foods). We didn't bother renting a car – buses and taxis are easy, and we rented bikes for two days at Everybody’s Bike Rentals (a short bus ride away).

Highly recommended.
