Fantastic stay at Steve's place. A really excellent location in a beautiful tree lined street - quiet and peaceful yet just down the road from SE Hawthorne with all the cafes and bars and shops. Also very handy No 14 bus route straight into the city centre, and Mount Tabor just up the road the other way. The basement flat is really lovely - it has a very easy and cosy atmosphere, very relaxing. The bed is great and comfy, and the bathroom and shower fantastic. It was unusually rainy while we were staying in Portland, so the gas log fire and the washer and dryer came in so handy. The kitchen was great and met out needs for making drinks and breakfast. Steve could not have been a better, kinder or friendlier host - really! - he was always on hand to answer our questions or to help us and meet our requests, and replied very quickly to any of the questions we had. We also hired Steve's bikes through Spinlister, and again it was so straightforward and Steve so helpful and generous. We were really so happy to stay here and highly recommend it - a great place to stay - and I'll stay again if / when I come back to Portland!
