well how to start? Matt's home truly is a gem. Honestly this was my favorite Airb&b stay so far -- and this wasn't my first rodeo. The location was just perfect for us -- easy in to Portland and easy out to the amazing hiking trails towards the east. Fell in love with the neighborhood joint (Tabor Tavern). But honestly, the home, yards, etc. itself felt so loved and cared for. Matt has a gorgeous, simple aesthetic. We felt so at home in all the special nooks and spaces he has created to enjoy the outdoors. The kitchen was perfectly appointed with everything we needed. The bathroom was gorgeous. The beds were...well...suffice to say I nicked the brochure by the bed so that I could work on buying one for home. Now if i could just figure out where that perfectly perfect wooden salt container came from (the one with the swiveling lid)...I'd be ever so grateful. The visit from the neighborhood cat (jumped in the window one night) kept us entertained. Thankyou, thankyou for the wonderful stay, Matt.
