My wife and 3 small children thoroughly enjoyed our stay in David's home. From the time David accepted our reservation request, he was extremely helpful in planning our first trip to Portland. He gave great recommendations on places to visit and see and took the extra time to make sure all our needs and questions were addressed before even arriving.

The home is in a quiet neighborhood between the airport and downtown Portland so it was relatively close to both (about 10 minutes or so to each). We had a late arrival and very early departure to and from PDX so this was a nice convenience, especially for my children. Getting to downtown, Pearl District, museums, Washington Park and cool restaurants were within very short driving distances. There are very cool restaurants and probably pubs (I didn't check out the pubs) couple streets away. We had breakfast one morning at Sweedeedee, which was very close and very good. But we also enjoyed cooking breakfast and eating on the back patio while taking in the cool mornings. We used Uber on couple occasions for dinner so we didn't have to deal with parking.

We spent the greater part of our time in Portland away from the house sightseeing and taking day long trips to places like Cannon Beach, but it was truly nice to be able to come back to a nice, big clean house to rest and relax. The house has plenty of rooms and space to accommodate the 5 of us without feeling crowded. The house doesn't have AC, but this wasn't an issue other than one night when temperature in Portland got into mid 90s. Wife and kids slept in the basement converted to home theatre that night, which stays pretty cool regardless of temperature outside. David knew it was going to get hot so he had mattress and linen already staged in the basement for us.

The house is definitely older but beautiful and nicely restored. I highly recommend David's house. That said, families with small children may want to reconsider because David does have a lot of fragile and beautiful antiques around the house. My kids are all exceptionally well behaved because we're pretty strict on them about our own house so this was not an issue for us.

Thanks David for a great stay in Portland.
