we loved the old house charm. the lavender lady worked out great for our 10 day family stay in the Portland area- it is spacious, quiet and comfortable. Also the location was fantastic, we could walk to tons of great retail stores, restaurants and grocers. ASn added benefit is the proximity to Mt Tabor, perfect place to take a walk and watch the sunset. Plus, when we needed to drive- it was centrally located and never too far from any part of Portland. Michael was responsive and it was easy to find, check in and check out. i wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
