I stayed with Elie for an extended stay of 20 days, when I came to Portland to help my son and his wife with their newborn, as first time parents. Elie's place is in a quiet and friendly neighborhood, easy walking distance to the quaint Multnomah Village, filled with shops and great restaurants. Elie paid special attention to making sure that I was comfortable. He offered to exchange out clean towels and sheets before I had a chance to even ask him. The Queen bed is very comfortable and the bedroom is so dark and quiet that you will get plenty of undisturbed sleep. The bathroom is fully tiled and it has a great shower with fantastic water pressure. He has even installed a heated towel warmer so your towels dry very quickly in between showers.
His kitchen came with an Instant Hot Water Kettle, that I absolutely loved and used every day, which assured plenty of hot cups of tea made in a flash, on those occasional rainy Portland days.
Elie's place is FIVE STARS and he is an excellent host in all aspects!
