This is the second time I have stayed at Loren's place while visiting my daughter at Reed. The location, within easy walking distance to Reed and great bakeries, stores, etc., is ideal. Loren has filled his place with beautiful artwork and books, which perfectly capture the quirky artistic flavor of Portland. Very cozy and peaceful. I also arrived during terrible Portland weather, rain and wind, and Loren had the most amazing umbrella available for me. So thoughtful.
