My husband and I had a great time at Charles' lovely home. The interior is lovely, new and clean and you can tell it's been recently remodeled. The full kitchen is GREAT, as is the access to a washer/dryer since I was heading out on a business trip after our visit to Portland. However, we didn't spend too much time at the home just because there was so much to do locally- you're a quick walk away from the nearest bus stop which takes you directly (and cheaply!) into Portland center, but there are also lots of great bars and restaurants in easy walking distance. The neighborhood was clean, safe, and charming. Charles is very friendly and provides great local recommendations, and is happy to answer any questions. We would definitely come back on our next trip to Portland!
