Stephen was a great host and the house is a terrific option for a 'close to everything' Portland place to stay. We stayed there with our son and his girlfriend. The house is within walking distance to restaurants, food carts and bars, an easy drive to downtown and to lots of vintage and other shops in the Hawthorne district. Two comfortable bedrooms, full kitchen with glasses and dishes, nice bathroom and living room with big tv if you want to stay in. Stephen was very welcoming, showed us around the place and gave us restaurant suggestions beforehand. We needed his help with one small thing-he was just a quick text away. Otherwise, he left us to enjoy our Portland stay. There is a bit of road noise at night but I'm very sensitive to that kind of thing and didn't have any trouble sleeping. Last thing-it was meticulously clean.
