Matthew's place is well-equipped and in a nice residential location close to a few good shops and places to eat. He was very easy to communicate with and really friendly / helpful--even left a bottle of bubbly to celebrate a friend's wedding. We really liked his hip, funky decor too. My one-year-old got a kick out of the fish hanging above the bed and woke up each morning babbling away to it. The only downside is that we visited when Portland had a major snowstorm and the heating wasn't working incredibly efficiently. I would just double-check before-hand if you are visiting during cold weather. We all stayed very bundled but couldn't seem to stay completely warm. All in all, we would return (and would ask for an extra space heater). ;)
