This was a wonderful place for us to stay while we visited our daughter in Portland. The temperatures were record breaking hot and it was so cool in the basement apartment. It was tastefully decorated and didn't have that basement feel. It is ideally located and we were able to walk a couple blocks for breakfast in the mornings and were able to get some shopping in and explore a couple bars at night. Doug and Cindy were very accommodating and interesting. Their gardens were beautiful as is so many in Portland. We will definitely try to stay their again.
