My husband and I loved staying with Tom and his family. The room was exactly as described, their airbed is probably the most comfortable one I have ever slept on. We could not have hoped for better hosts. Whether you want privacy or engaging hosts with great suggestions and interesting/friendly conversation, you will not be disappointed. The house is located on a quite residential street, but very close to great bars, cafés, and restaurants. The whole neighborhood has a great vibe and is a great home base for discovering Portland.
