Anthony was a very gracious host and a nice guy! He responded quickly to messages, let us check in early, and made a point to meet us when we got there. The place is a wonderfully furnished private apartment, very charming with a comfortable bed and great living area. There is a thermostat-controlled heat/AC unit, which is in the living room but worked well for the whole unit. The bathroom is stocked with soap and shampoo and plenty of towels, and the kitchen has coffee from Trader Joe's. Anthony has clearly put a lot of thought into making this place feel like home. The house is in a charming residential area in SE called Woodstock, convenient to many great restaurants, coffee shops, etc. His family lives in the adjoining part of the duplex so they are available for anything you might need. He has two adorable children, although as others have mentioned, they do enjoy waking up early and running around, so you'll hear footsteps early in the morning. So don't plan on sleeping in past 8 am, or at least bring some earplugs! Other than that, my wife and I spent a wonderful three nights in Portland at Anthony's place and would not hesitate to return!
