We stayed in Amanda & Sebastien's house in Portland for a month while we were in the US and we had the best time. Their home is beautiful and filled with lots of great literature, artworks and information about things to do in Portland and Oregon. The rooms were perfect for what we wanted - great size and clean - and the lounge area & kitchen provided lots of space to spread out, cook and hang out. The house has a really beautiful garden where you can sit & eat outside on nice sunny days. The location was also great for exploring the city and for hiring a car and exploring the mountains and countryside of Oregon. Cafes, restaurants and shops on Alberta Street are within walking distance and a large grocery shop is 5 mins walk away. Transport was also good with a bus stop at the end of the street which took about 25 mins to get into town. Karin, our host was lovely and really made us feel welcome and at home on our first night in town by providing a home cooked meal, fresh pastries and red wine. She is very generous and kind and couldn't have been a better host. If you're looking for a nice place to stay where you can spread out and enjoy the local scene of Portland as well as maybe hire a bike/car to get in or out of town, this is a lovely and also interesting area and I recommend staying here. Thank you to Amanda and Sebastien for letting us stay!
