Our host (Tom) greeted us when we arrived and showed us everything we needed to see/know about the accommodations. He had super advice about getting around the neighborhood, places to eat and drink, bicycling around Portland and best coffee around just a block away. He and his family made us feel so welcome and were almost always there for a chat, great information about the city of Portland, and provided everything we needed for a great stay. The separate entrance made coming and going so easy without disturbing the family or other guests and the common room was an added bonus. 5 star location.
