My daughter, son-in-law, two puppies and I needed a place to stay in Portland while they visited with his family and I had to work. We couldn't have gotten luckier with this house. Plenty of space for me to work in the lovely bedroom nook upstairs while everyone else could enjoy the downstairs. Also spent some hours working at the large dining room table. Kitchen had the supplies we needed to prepare the meals we wanted to have there, but ate most meals out or did take out. Decoration of the home was lovely, while not being fussy or uncomfortable. We enjoyed a family meal one night on the back porch, followed by a pleasant walk to Salt and Straw for ice cream. Which brings me to the fabulous location just off Hawthorne, and a short walk to Division. The neighborhood is lovely for walking, there's a park and community garden nearby and we met some of the neighborhood residents who couldn't have been friendlier. House was very clean and comfortable and I'd be thrilled to have use of it again. Thank you to our hosts, who were very responsive to any questions in advance of and during our stay.
