If you're visiting SE Portland - stay here. Full stop. You won't find a more thoughtfully designed home or more welcoming hosts than Keely and Josh. While everything about the property is pretty amazing, I'll note a few of the highlights:
- Immaculately clean
- Incredible amount of natural light (windows all around, skylights, etc.)
- Really comfortable beds
- Tons of little extras that you'd only expect from staying at a friend's place, including freshly ground coffee and organic half and half (they ask you your milk/mylk preference!!)
- Peaceful private courtyard area with chairs and a fountain - we drank coffee out here every morning
Finally, for anyone concerned about the noise mentioned: we barely noticed it. I believe one night we heard a loud truck - and that's about it.
