Location is great, right off I-5 and close to shops, eats, coffee and a nice community park. Very clean and water pressure from the shower is amazing if you like it hot and beating down on you, cool claw foot tub, crisp white and clean towels abundant. Jeff allowed us to expand our kitchen needs and having our rice cooker, hot plate, etc. helped keep our budget manageable as we were there for nearly a month. Nice fenced in yard to keep your fur baby safe. They have two dogs that will bark upon your arrival and exit, also like to snoop and sneak in to see what's on your pups menu! The set up was nice to allow my son to have his own private area apart from me, even though the space is a "studio." Jeff also provides a record player and an amazing collection of vinyl's that will take you back in time. Although these next two issues have no reflection on our hosts, one should be aware: (snow...not likely unless you come in winter like we did) we came right after the storm hit the PNW. Roads were a mess, trees down all over, streets not plowed and slush a foot deep all made the first few days challenging to get around, its not just this neighborhood it was all over Portland. There are daily protests 12-2pm on the street just a few blocks down on the main road from the house. Although it was just typically just a few individuals, one day it swelled to nearly 100 and they spilled onto to the traffic lane, blocking it and screaming slogans and obscenities. I found this to be very unnerving and frightening as well. Little bands of protests arise throughout Portland neighborhoods on any given day, one should be prepared for that as well as being accosted by homeless begging. I was witness to a robbery at the Walgreen's a mile over, the get away vehicle was parked in front of mine. Again, none of these events are reflective of our amazing hosts but the sign of the time if you have a visit to Portland in mind.
