The loft is spacious, well designed, and tucked away in a quiet family neighbourhood. Kim and Carl have added many little touches that make it welcoming and convenient. My wife and I used transit as we explored Portland ($5 for a day pass!) and found the loft a good location to access both buses and the light rail system. We also enjoyed walking the quiet, tree lined avenues -- with their beautiful, eclectic homes -- on the way to the food trucks (on Sandy). We would definitely stay here again. Great hosts, location and value.
