Super cozy spot. "Refuge" seems cliché but it's really the best I've got. Great home base in east Portland -- walk almost anywhere you want to go and easy bus access downtown on Burnside. Hosts were super chill & very communicative and friendly. Will stay here again!
As the listing says you can hear traffic on Chavez & some family life in the house. I found it relaxing & welcoming -- never too loud.
