Brad & Becca are friendly, relaxed hosts, their home is inviting and our stay couldn't have been better.

They have a wonderful black Lab puppy and the tiniest, precocious cat—and I'm not a cat person—who both accented our stay perfectly. Everything was clean, everything worked. The house is about 20-25 minutes (with workday traffic) from downtown and 15 from the Alberta arts district—a nice central point for the varied sojourns we made.

I want to leave one note for prospective guests: Though Brad & Becca's house is, indeed, like an urban treehouse, your lower-level room (the photo featuring the world map on the wall) is ordinary, without a view to speak of. This isn't a complaint at all—simply a note to anyone expecting to sleep in an open-air loft with a 360-degree view of Greater Portland.

Thank you, to Brad & Becca, for opening their home to us!
