It takes a traveler to know a traveler, and Eric clearly understands what travelers need. I was well-supplied with coffee, snacks and even eggs, juice and yogurt for the morning, which was a really lovely (and very kind) touch. The neighborhood is beautiful, and the back patio and yard are superb places to hang out. Easy to get downtown on the MAX or on a bus that stops on the corner. I had been traveling a lot and needed a place just to rest for a while, and this house was perfect--it would also be good if you were spending a few days in Portland and needed a home base.
