My only difficulty in writing this review is not knowing which part of the experience to stress: Should I focus on what incredibly kind and gracious hosts -- and just deeply good people -- Scott and Cliff are? Or should I gush about their amazing space? I should confess that, usually, I'm that oblivious guy who barely notices his surroundings, but even I had to really appreciate their two upstairs bedrooms and common area. I stayed there for more than two weeks, but I kept finding more and more evidence of the time and attention they put into every detail. First, of course, there's the mini-fridge and coffee bar, which is stocked with incredibly good local beers and coffee -- as well as seltzer and an oversize Brita filter for the sensible non-drinkers among us. And then their furniture: funky couches and chairs that are both cool-looking and incredibly comfortable. And then the beds! My one regret is forgetting to ask what mattress they had in the bedroom I stayed in. I'm that sedentary office-worker guy with a horrible back, and yet I feel whatever condition I had has been cured after staying with them. Seriously, it may have been the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on.. Okay, I should stop talking about the space, since I lack the vocabulary to say much more. On to Scott and Cliff as people. They really were more than hosts, they were friends. I'm in Portland doing some fairly intense work, and on one of my first nights I came home frazzled and they were on the first floor having a glass of wine. They invited me to join them, gave me a glass, and we proceeded to have an amazing conversation. Scott does public health work and Cliff is a divorce mediator, who, if I ever figure out how to get married, I want to have on hand to manage the trauma of my inevitable divorce. Okay, I seem to have reached the end of the allotted space for this review. Let me just end by saying I was very sad to reach the end of my stay with Scott&Cliff. I'm guessing you will be, too.
