I absolutely loved my stay at Eric's place. Prime location in a beautiful street - I visited during fall and it was gorgeous with all the red and yellow leaves falling. Located just around the corner from my favourite Portland vegan cafe, Harlow, and super easy access to cafes and buses on SE Division and SE Hawthorne to go downtown or to other neighbourhoods. (TIP - I downloaded the Hop app on my phone to use Apple pay for the bus pass which can sit in your Apple wallet - easy to recharge and use if you are visiting for a few days). The area is also very walkable. Walking distance to numerous yoga studios, including Unfold and Bhakti Yoga & Movement Centre. Self check-in with the lockbox was super handy - and great as you can leave the key there if you want to and then you don't have to worry about losing it! The arrival instructions were very clear and helpful. The washing machine and dryer in the studio were so handy, and I greatly appreciated that washing detergent was provided. Lots of natural light in the space and looking out over the garden was so beautiful. The space was also very clean, well looked after, and beautifully designed. Eric thought of all the little things to make the stay easy and convenient including a hairdryer, and lamps next to the bed with USB ports to charge your phone! These things were both really helpful and easier than dealing with adapter plugs (I'm from Australia). Eric also offered local suggestions for cafes etc, with vegan recommendations for me. I only met Eric and Nick very briefly but they were so sweet and kind. My friend lives an hour out of the city and Eric dropped off an extra set of sheets so that we could make up the sofa bed for her to stay a night which was so nice. We referred to it as our 'dream home', and both totally want to live there :) Highly highly recommended. I hope that I have the opportunity to visit again. Thanks so much Eric and Nick.
