In my humble opinion, this is one of Portland's best neighborhoods. Tom's family's home is across from a beautiful park. It's a few blocks in either direction to Hawthorne and Division, so the street is quiet, but it's very close to be convenient enough to walk anywhere you want. Tom and his family were very nice and accommodating, and I enjoyed talking with them when I was coming or going. However, they also respected my time and privacy, so it was a great balance. The room itself was larger than it looks in the photo, with a large and SUPER comfy bed. Plenty of outlets, a space heater in case you get cold, lots of pillows, closet and drawer space, and many other little touches that made this a comfortable and convenient space to land. The bathroom was also lovely and very clean. I should mention that there's a separate entrance to the guest quarters (the downstairs of the house is 2 guest rooms + living room + 1 shared bathroom). The separate entrance was very convenient and I liked it because I could come and go early or late without feeling as if I would disturb anyone. Overall, this was a clean, comfortable, convenient, safe, friendly place to stay! I would definitely visit again!
