I stayed at Rob and Sylvia's for one night after climbing Mt. St. Helens, I couldn't have asked for a better stay. The unit is as described, down a small flight of stairs on the side of the main house. It felt private and safe, and it was the perfect place to land for the night! I was able to check in early, and Rob and Sylvia provided an extensive list of restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, etc. to check out while I was in the area. There is a main street a few blocks south with plenty of restaurants and local shops, and across the street from the house is a large park. Parking on the street was easy to find, and I had no issues leaving my car out for the night! I ended up being too tired to use the hot tub, but it is conveniently located in the backyard and if I 'd had the energy it would have been a great addition to my stay. Overall, this was a great find in a great neighborhood with great hosts. Would recommend and would stay again if I ever find myself back in Portland!
