What a lovely experience!! Tom and Phillis are so kind, friendly, and hospitable, and the accommodations are wonderful! A lovely cool, quiet room with a private bathroom in the basement of their house with a separate entrance, on a quiet residential street that is VERY close to the bustling Hawthorne neighborhood, and several bus lines that take you right into downtown. There were so many small touches that made it feel homey: a “living” area with microwave, fridge, and coffee pot, and cute breakfast table, as well as a comfy bed, and dozens of other little touches that make you feel right at home. I was in town for a wedding plus a few days, and very much enjoyed the mornings and evenings I spent in this quiet little haven!
Plus, if you love dogs, they have two very friendly pups who are kept out of the Airbnb accommodations but are happy to receive affection if you choose to venture upstairs to the main house.
Thank you Tom and Phillis for the wonderful stay! Will definitely return when I come back to Portland.
