Randal's place was just perfect for my family (wife and twin boys aged 7). Close to lots of coffee shops, grocery stores and restaurants. It's also just a quick drive over to downtown (make sure you hit Powell's Books) my kids spend hours there. The neighborhood is residential and very safe.
Communication with Randal and his support staff was amazing. They're all very friendly and extremely supportive. We would definitely stay again at Randal's and would recommend it to all our friends and family.
