My brother and I spent 2 nights at Ali and David's place. The neighbourhood was great. We arrived on the last Thursday of the month which was lucky since the nearby Alberta avenue hosts a great street party that night with food vendors, art galleries, music and lots of great people.

Ali and David were both very friendly and quick to reply to all my messages, they were more then happy to answer any questions we had. They even have a couple of bicycles you can use.

The upstairs was nice and clean and the beds were very comfortable. There were lots of helpful maps and books about Portland.
