We had a great stay at Hisham's home! House is easily accessible off hwy 205 and served as the perfect hub for all our Portland and beyond excursions. We arrived to find a clean and extremely comfy house with a cute backyard seating area where we would sit many evenings and enjoy the garden surrounding us. We brought our dog and loved the fully fenced yard. Thanks for allowing our well behaved girl, Hisham! The neighbors, particularly, Cheryl, right next door, were very friendly and helpful. So much so that I wish I had seen her to say thanks and goodbye. There is a neighborhood park (Berrydale Park) just a couple blocks away where we enjoyed a concert in the park one night and would walk our dog. Mt. Tabor is also easily explorable just 10 blocks away. Nice park to find shade and a view of downtown Portland. There are some restaurants nearby but having a dog we often sought out dog friendly places like nearby food trucks (there is one close on Stark) but our favorite was Cartlandia south on 82nd about 3 miles. Hisham's house has a/c throughout which we would not have thought to need in Portland but one day hit 100 degrees...so it was welcomed on that day. Our communication with Hisham was great! House had all we needed from small coffee pot and basics in the kitchen to cook with, to hair dryer, sheets, towels, and washer/dryer. We would most definitely stay here again.
