My little family really enjoyed our stay at Laura and Michael's place for a full week in late July. The garden really is a key feature for the place, we even got to eat some fruits and veggies grown back there! Our two year old was comfortable and safe, especially because the bedroom can become fully dark with the blackout curtains. We brought our bikes, which was part of the reason we enjoyed this location so much, the ease of biking all around North Portland, and easily into the South East or Downtown too. Like other reviewers mentioned, you can hear footsteps upstairs, just like any basement converted space, but it really was not an issue. The space is made super comfortable and Laura made sure we had every little thing we needed. I recommend staying here.
