A beautiful “old Portland” home in the Northwest hills above the city with sweeping views to the southeast. We loved the modern finishes, the extremely well stocked kitchen with everything we needed to make meals when we wanted to dine in, and the two decks. Steep stairs up to the bedroom and bathroom, but we managed fine. It was really thoughtful of the hosts to provide two change of season comforters, as the temperature turned warm and we simply swapped the soft furry winter comforter to a cooler summer alternative. We really appreciated being able to bring our little dog (a chiweenie) and it was so nice to have the green grassy park right across the street. The neighborhood is gorgeous in the spring with the rhododendrons in full bloom. Perfect for strolling, although it helps if you are in good enough shape to walk hills. The location is so convenient — close to NW Portland shops, restaurants and markets. Scott was a great host with excellent communications. It is clear that this home is well loved by its owners, and we felt privileged to get to spend three nights here.
