Staying at this place was the best decision I made during my trip to Portland. Hilary and her family were so friendly and kind, yet also left me alone when I was lost in thought or hurrying here and there. They have two of the cutest, most friendly dogs Ive ever seen. And the house is within walking distance of 2 or 3 cool eating/shopping areas, so you don't even need a car if you don't want one.
