My husband and I could not have asked for a more delightful place to stay on our scouting trip to Portland! The Tiny House was so adorable and quaint and had so many fun and thoughtful touches, and the area is just great. Countless cafes and coffee shops nearby, a neighborhoood store, and lots of fun little shops made it a truly enjoyable visit. Martin was the perfect host - he was very considerate and helpful, and even spent time telling us all about the area and answering our questions. He made sure we had what we needed and then left us alone -which is exactly how we liked it- and was easily reachable by text if we had questions.

It was the perfect size place for two people, except that the bed was a little snug. My husband and I are average/small people and it was just big enough, but his feet hung off the end just a bit. The fact that the bed is low to the ground though made it just fine, and the sheets were the softest I have ever felt. All in a all, it was a very comfortable sleeping experience for us, but I wouldn't recommend it for two larger people. The stairs are not as treacherous as I imagined with the warnings about the railing, and really are quite easy to navigate (though perhaps not for those who are less mobile). The bathroom is small but tasteful with great shower pressure (something I am not used to, having lived in CA for a while) and the kitchen is just adorable, with all the necessities of cooking.

The highlights of this little place, for me, were the coffee and the books: Martin is obviously a coffee connoisseur because the coffee was some of the best I have ever had and the coffee maker is a Chemex. Yum!! As for my other highlight, the place is stocked with a great variety of books, mostly nicely broken-in paperbacks, with everything from Weegee to Tolkien, and Maupassant to VC Andrews! Quite a treat!

It was evident that a lot of thought was put into decorating this wonderful little Portland gem, and my husband and I felt very welcome there. We would stay here again in a heartbeat, and I heartily recommend this place to everyone! It would be especially nice for a longer stay because of kitchen - much better than a hotel!
