We usually stay in hotels when we travel to Portland for our business and shopping trips. The Owls Nest was SO much better! Our hosts were awesomely available and also totally let us have our privacy. There were yummy homemade cookies on the coffee table when we got there and the apartment was perfectly clean and lovely. Everything was well thought out and totally easy.
The neighborhood was also lovely, easy and friendly. Tons of street parking in front of the house. We walked to Alberta Street for food which was dreamy in the late Spring Weather. The location has easy access to everything we need, and there was even a GREAT park a few blocks away that I took my 8 year old son to so he could play for a while. There were lots of friendly kids in the neighborhood, including the kids of our hosts. I will, and already have, recommended The Owl's Nest to my friends in Bend, as many of us frequently travel to Portland. So much better than staying in a hotel!
