We had a wonderful 5 days with Carol's place as our home base. The house is ideally situated just a few blocks from LOTS of cafes, restaurants, parks, bars, etc. Carol is incredibly pleasant to deal with, and responded very promptly any time we reached out to her. The house is clean, well organized and very comfortable, and we LOVED the bed in the main bedroom. Carol lives in the adjoining duplex, and we saw her as she was working in the front garden as we came and went, and she is really lovely: exactly the kind of person you would like to have as a neighbor. We will definitely be staying here on future trips to Portland!
