We thought we' d escape the Texas heat in Portland, only to find the city in the grips of the heat wave of the decade--or longer. Even though there was no A/C at the home, there was good cross ventilation and the sky lights opened to let the heat escape. Located in a sweet neighbourhood the house was situated excellently. The pictures do not do it justice, and the appointments were the epitome of style. Located on a corner, literally across the street from a bus stop, and a few blocks from other public transportation, the 'hood was lively and active. Close to all kinds of shopping, bars and restaurants, we even watched the Fourth of July fireworks from an area park we could walk to from the home. The bed was super comfy, and we were even left a bottle of wine to enjoy upon arrival. Paul helped us with an issue upon arrival (which was totally our fault) with quick response and saved the day. The sitting porches are divine; we couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. If we are lucky enough to ever return to PDX, we know where we'll be staying. Staying in a neighborhood is the way to really know a city, and you cannot go wrong here. Thanks, Scott and Paul. You guys ROCK!
