I recognized the front door and porch from the picture which was very helpful. Parking and after-hours access was easy and convenient. Pictures don't do the "spacious Woodlawn suite" justice; being the entire ground floor of the host's well-equipped and sizeable home, it is BEYOND spacious and nicely decorated! The large picture windows really bring in the meticulously-manicured sustainable landscaping. A big plus is the bedroom being down the hall and in the back away from the living room and kitchen; since I have a habit of going to bed before my husband, I did not hear him watching TV. The comfy bed helped too. Another plus is that the back half of the structure -- bedroom and bathroom -- is built into the ground (the house is on an incline) so this makes for a temperate, cool and quiet experience. So quiet, in fact, you know your hosts are upstairs but you hardly even notice them. I met and talked briefly with Greg our first morning there. He was gracious and welcoming and easy to talk with. He reminded me to ask if we were in need of anything, but everything had been provided and we did not have to take him up on that. The amenities stated were provided and everything was easy to access. Greg and Mallory have compiled a reference book of nearby restaurants and attractions with the distances from their place. We found this extremely helpful when deciding if we should walk or drive somewhere. We walked to many nearby places -- Alberta Arts Disctrict had lots and lots and LOTS of restaurants and local nightlife...Woodlawn has plenty of parks and coffee/bakery/cafes all a short distance away. Even when we drove to Cathedral Park and Downtown and to the Hawthorne District, they were not far away. We were so glad we chose to stay in Woodlawn and away from the city. It really provided a taste of what Portland is REALLY like. Can't wait to come back!
