Bob and Karen were excellent hosts, though I never met them in person (I arrived and left at odd times). Self entry was easy with clear directions on how to find the place and access the lockbox. I was greeted with delicious homemade granola and yogurt, and other essentials for a good morning like bread, tea and coffee.

The place is spacious, unique, warm and inspiring. The location is perfect if you want to stay somewhere outside of, but near, downtown. I walked west over the Hawthorne Bridge to explore downtown, and walked east on Division and Hawthorne to explore SE Portland.
