Owen's place was perfect, and so uniquely Portland.
The location is ideal for feeling a part of daily life on the Eastside. We took our dog for walks around the neighborhood and wandered over to the outdoor, social distance-friendly food + drink (and Ruby Jewel!) setup on Ankeny between 27th + 28th. We got a pie from Ken's a couple blocks over and shared it with some wine out on Owen's patio, which is completely surrounded by a full working garden growing all sort of fruits and vegetables.
The unit itself is really well thought-out, with good a/c (crucial for unusually hot July days) and a full kitchen with gas range that made cooking meals easy. I especially loved the upstairs, which had sort of a hideaway feel to it, with a sharply pitched roof and skylights to let the sun in.
Overall, we were really happy with the neighborhood, the unit and just about everything else related to our stay. Owen's family is awesome and we hope to stay with them again next time we make it down that way.
