Derek's place was perfect for our weekend getaway to Portland. The space is beautiful and artfully decorated. One unexpected perk was the amazing garden view out the kitchen window. We really enjoyed seeing the sunflowers and creative iron works as well as the community activity in the space. It also created a nice kind of quiet in the urban neighborhood. The beds were all comfortable and the bathroom shower was a lovely rain experience. It was fun to play some of the vinyl options featured for the turntable. The house is located in a great area with lots to walk/bike to and Derek provided some great reference materials on places to visit nearby- especially for good food and drink! We had a lovely time and would stay again.
