My husband and I spent a couple nights in the 'Bartman' as a part of a trip to Oregon to celebrate our anniversary. The house is fantastic and has been restored with very careful attention and artistic detail. We enjoyed checking out the cool collection of antique and vintage treasures in the house and history of the house itself. Location and neighborhood are fun, safe, offer lots of great food and entertainment options, and easy walking distance to other parts of downtown. The house was stocked with all the necessities and many extras including toiletries, maps and guides for the city and entertainment, extra linens, lots of drinkware, books, movies, and more.
Stephen is a wonderful host and took the time to make us feel welcome. He's just a great guy and we really enjoyed the time we had to talk with him and hang out, though he absolutely respected our privacy as guests. He was very prompt and professional in our communication, and was flexible and accommodating. We even had the pleasure of sailing on the Mahalo, which became one of the top highlights of our whole trip.
Stephen recommended a couple restaurants in the neighborhood -- Junior's (breakfast - across the street), and Teote (just north on 12). Both were very good. We also enjoyed Ground Breaker Brewing, also very close.
We had a fantastic stay at the Bartman and would love to stay there again!
