We loved our brief stay at Leigh's rustic house in a very nice neighborhood of Portland. Whilst a bit out of the main downtown area, it was part of the Division-Clinton area, with many boutique shops, coffee shops and restaurants. It was also a few blocks from the more commercial and bustling Hawthorne area.

The accommodations were perfect for us. We were 5, with our two daughters sharing the nice 2-bed loft, with its own bath and privacy, and my sister-in-law taking the office/den with its own bed. The kitchen was well stocked - though we did not have time to make use of its full facilities to cook a meal - and the living/dining area was large and well set up. We spent some good quality family time in the living room and dining table, playing games, watching TV and eating delicious pizzas from the Hawthorne's Apizza Scholl pizzeria.

Leigh and Dave were discrete hosts, not bothering us, but always accessible when we needed them for a few queries. They accommodated our request for a late check out on our last day. And their instructions on how to handle the keys and the linen etc were crystal clear that made the stay very smooth.
