We just enjoyed a busy weekend in Portland with Rob & Sylvia's place being a great home base for our adventures. I especially liked the easy walk to the Alberta Arts district and took advantage of the wonderful park across the street everyday as well. They recently renovated this basement unit to feel clean and inviting. We could tell we were staying in someone's house but never felt like we were being invasive or had anyone infringing on our privacy. On a particularly hot night, Sylvia left us additional sheets in case the comforter was too hot. Communication throughout our stay was easy and quick. They worked with our schedule to make it easier to maximize out time in Portland. I would recommend this stay to anyone wanting to have a simple, safe and clean unit to call home for a little while. Excellent stay! I wish we had a chance to use the hot tub. I only caught a glimpse of it on our way out and it looked awesome! Just too busy to make it happen this time.
