I had the pleasure of staying at Chris and Cynthia's house for 5 weeks. It's a lovely and cozy victorian. I was there just by myself, but it would be the perfect size for a couple. The house was extremely clean and newly painted, with up-to-date appliances. An AC unit for the kitchen/living room and also the bedroom! The bathroom is clean and has some nice natural light coming through a skylight. The gardens in the front and back were full of flowers and seemed to attract tons of little birds.
The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood near the Alberta area with tons of restaurants and cafes. There's a New Seasons market and a Whole Foods within a few blocks for easy grocery shopping. There's also a large park, Irving Park, across the street with some nice grassy areas to have a picnic or take a nap.
I spent a lot of time in the house as I was working on my laptop during the week. The internet was perfectly fine, though not super fast. There's a little deck at the front of the house that's great for sitting and having coffee in the morning. All in all this was the perfect place to stay and enjoy Portland for the month!
