Dave & Silke's place was perfect for our 4-night family of four stay in Portland. My kids (12 & 6) went to the instruments every time we walked in the door, never complained about being bored & barely asked for any screen time (except for the family movies we watched on the projector before bed)! The neighborhood is infinitely walkable, even for my youngest; it was so nice to leave the rental car sitting in the driveway! Dave & Silke are wonderful hosts - warm, interesting people who were available to help and make suggestions. They have a perfect balance between welcoming and giving you your own space. The English basement apartment has a great layout, fun touches, all the necessities (& then some!)
