Erick's place was a great stay for me and two buddies spending the weekend in Portland to take advantage of all the outdoor activities the area offers. Location is excellent, in walking distance of all the great parts of the Humboldt neighborhood with easy access to ample street parking on Albina St. and the surrounding neighborhood offshoots. Erick's place was immaculately clean, well organized, and had all the essentials for a small group weekend trip. The kitchen was stocked with a large and small sautee pan, a medium sized pot, a strainer, 2 large serving bowls, cutting board, and plenty of cups / mugs / plates / flatware/ utensils. There were also baking pans / a pizza pan, and other 'fundamental' odds and ends. The bedrooms were clean and the beds were wildly comfortable - I even checked the pillow brand to buy my own. There is a good-sized desk in the master bedroom that you can work from, and a large-sized dining table that made a great office for me for the day. The house is next door to the Red Fox neighborhood bar, the only time we had noise was mid-day Saturday and the noise was a great reggae DJ - but if you're in the house mid-day Saturday and haven't climbed a mountain the night before, you're doing something wrong. Erick was very responsive before and during the stay - I would stay here again absolutely.
