My mother and I aren't very familiar with Portland, so it was really nice to have a knowledgeable and accommodating owner like Nick. The description was true to the area and although we didn't visit all the destinations, given and suggested, the ones that we did go to were pretty great. The "Village Coffee" cafe and the antique store in particular were spectacular- both only a 5-10 minute walk from the home. One thing I will have to say is that the bus coming back directly to Multnomah Village from downtown Portland (44) stops running pretty early, so those of you that use public transit as a form of transportation might have to preplan your day a little bit more. That being said, it's really nice to come back early and lounge in the studio (with the ac on!) or on the balcony in front of the door.
