What a great experience to stay in the Little Pink House! Everything was so easy and efficient, and the house itself is adorable! To more fully experience Portland, we decided to stay in two different parts of the city, and Boise-Eliot, the neighborhood of the Little Pink House, is very exciting. Lots of bungalows and interesting architecture all around, plus great restaurants on Mississippi and up on Alberta. Also, for those on bikes, it's a very easy ride into downtown Portland. The place itself is small, but so well designed and engineered that it still worked, even for two of us (a couple). We had no problems with the ladder, but it's definitely something that people should be prepared for (and Rick does a great job of explaining it on the listing). We never met Rick in person, but it was very easy to get in and out, using a number combination on the door lock. Highly recommend the house and Rick!
