I live in Portland and rented Kerry's place for some out of town guests I had. It was perfect! The house was beautiful, interesting, and inviting. There was plenty of room both for gathering together and for people to get privacy when they wanted it. The front porch is awesome in warm weather.
This is a great neighborhood with a lot of places to walk to: restaurants, cafes, bars, parks. Plus it is spring so all the flowers are in bloom!
