Tom and his family have a beautiful accommodating home. The location is superb for being able to get a feel of what Portland has to offer. Walking distance to movies on the park, coffee, bicycle shops, restaurants, and the Hawthorne street shops. The check in and check out procedures were smooth. If you really want to feel like you "live" in Portland, book this house. The house was clean, big, and the location location location! I'd book with Tom again without a doubt.
