Susanne and her husband Saadi were exceptional hosts. Saadi introduced himself to us personally the first night of our stay (they live nearby), and both were very friendly and ready to quickly answer any questions we had about the property or the city of Portland in general. "The Downtowner" is comfortable, clean and very tastefully decorated. We especially loved the beautiful carpets on all of the floors. Perhaps what we appreciated the most was the thoughtful way that he hosts "stocked" the house for our stay. Little things like coffee and laundry soap helped our trip go much more smoothly. "The Downtowner" is centrally located and is across the street from a light rail stop, which is very convenient. All in all, a fantastic place to stay in a fun, quirky and beautiful city.
