Staying in Portland at the Bartman was the highlight of our trip to the USA. The house is set within a tree lined street that is in a safe neighborhood, which is close to the city and situated within the eclectic and yet, peaceful Hawthorne area. We loved visiting the nearby vintage shops, clothes shops, food trucks, cafes, galleries and so on.

The house is beautifully decorated with vintage and modern artifacts with a touch of local history (e.g. photos and books). The lounge-room is palatial and comfortable, plus I slept really well in the comfy Q/S bed.

Stephen is an outstanding and helpful host who offers great suggestions of a wide range of activities in the city area, country and coastal areas. He also has an excellent range of activity pamphlets, maps and an informative guide book (with important information such as locating a doctor).

Highly recommend!
