We had a great time staying at Brian and Laura’s place over a long weekend. They were away for the first few days but we were able to check in ourselves very easily. The place is very close and walkable to many of the restaurants, bars and other businesses on the Division and Hawthorne streets. They were very gracious and offered us the use of their lovely backyard with patio lights, where we enjoyed some takeout from Pok Pok one night. We would highly recommend Brian and Lauras place, and would love to stay with them again the next time we are in Portland!
