Kal was an amazing host - curteous, friendly, helpful and very welcoming. Check in was easy and automatic and Kal was super responsive - messaged us right away. The house is a perfect balance of comfort and style. The room we had was immaculate and cozy, lots of light if you want it. Location is perfect for easy access to Hawthorne and for just wandering around and exploring the neighbourhood. We did not have any difficulty getting around, mostly walked everywhere, but the train station is a 10min walk away if needed. Highly recommend staying here, it's going to be our go-to on our return trips to Portland.
