This is a great place to stay for visiting Portland and the surrounding areas! As the other reviewers have observed, the location is central and a short drive from anywhere you could want to get inside the city, and convenient to highways for excursions outside in any direction. The property itself was a nice size and layout; the pictures & descriptions are accurate, but somehow still don't do it justice. Our family filled up the notional 'capacity' between my wife & I in the master suite, our two young boys on the bunk-beds, and grandparents in the room adjacent.. and yet we had a very comfortable stay for 6 nights, with the house being very well-equipped for us to really live in it for a week (incl. kitchen, laundry, etc.). Finally, the communications & logistics were well-organized and essentially effortless for our part. Thanks very much to Carla for offering such a nice, clean, and homey place for our vacation!!
