Nice place to stay in NE Portland. Our arrival did not go quite as planned schedule-wise. But Michelle was more than gracious when we seriously intruded on her personal plans. Michelle is a super hero and her super power is hospitality. Bottled water, snacks, secure access carefully explained, local suggestions, open to any and all questions... I mentioned to Michelle our second day that we struggled a little getting the TV going, but succeeded. "Oh, you should have called me!!" was her response. Like I said... super power. The only downside I could come up with is the heating. Central heat, but not forced air. Convection circulation, and no controls (other than opening and closing vents). To be expected in a 108 year old house. Someone might need to report on the heating when staying during a winter month. We were there the second weekend of November. It was comfortable enough for me, but on the cool side for my wife. Throws are available to cover up while watching TV or reading. Our best local experience just walking around was sitting with a couple of amazing ciders at Reverend Nat's Cider about two blocks from the house, followed by some incredibly yummy pizza at Sizzle Pie around the corner in the same building. Oh, and four blocks to the Portland street car and eleven blocks to Portland's MAX light rail -- Red, Blue, and Green lines with easy transfer to the Orange line. Pretty sweet getting around. And, Michelle arranged for some awesome, beautiful weather for our weekend. See? Super power.
