This is a little gem of a house, old construction that has maintained architectural features like the arch between the dining room and living room and the mantel over the fireplace, but a fully updated kitchen and bathroom. The kids' loft upstairs has a lower ceiling, and the stairs are narrow and steeper than in modern homes, but honestly our kids loved it. The location is PERFECT for northeast Portland and ideal for families. Two blocks from Wilshire Park, and walking distance to all manner of restaurants, pubs, salons, shops, and a short drive most other places, e.g., we easily drove to Mississippi in 17 minutes. This is a quiet neighborhood with families and pet owners. We also appreciated the little touches like coffee table books and magazines, a dish of travel-sized bottles of soap, tea, etc., and it was spotlessly clean. This was the perfect home base for visiting family and friends in the area, and we feel lucky we found this spot. Check-in was smooth, and the visitor tips in the house manual were helpful. We recommend!
