Ted was a really superb host very hospitable and gracious, and the studio apartment was a perfect arrangement for me as I attended a conference in Portland. The quick 6 minute bus ride to the Oregon Conference Center was very convenient. Right around the corner is a great little pizza joint and coffee shop which I visited more than once during my stay. The neighbourhood is very clean and quiet, but the location also provides a quick trip to wherever you needed to be. Really enjoyed my stay in Portland.
