Can we move in? Can we give 6 stars? This was our first visit to Portland - we loved Portland and we loved staying in Beau's place. We felt very welcome from the start by Beau. He gave us a tour of the apartment and took extra time to answer our questions and get us oriented to the neighborhood. His lower level apartment was just as described, plus Beau added nice touches which we appreciated: fresh fruit, beautiful freshly cut flowers, chocolates, and plush bathrobes. The apartment was impeccably clean, very comfortable and had everything that we needed. We stayed 5 nights and did not want to leave! The neighborhood was ideal, with easy access to the N/S trolley, as well as, several bus lines. We rented a car only one day to drive the Columbia River Gorge and visit Hood River. Beau had great recommendations for restaurants, things to see/visit, and how to get around. Beau was also genuinely interested in what we thought of the restaurants and places that we went to. Somehow we ended most of our evenings with a "dutch baby" dessert and a drink at Fireside, about 200 feet from our door. So much better than a hotel, we highly recommend staying here!
