I stayed with Arlene and Jeff (and son and other guest) for 6 weeks. Arlene was very welcoming and ensured that I always felt comfortable in the house. She treats her guests like they are family and at the same time is very respectful of your space. She was very responsive via text whenever I needed anything and always made a point to let me know if she needed to go into my room ahead of time to clean it or fix anything. It's a funky house with quirky decor which adds to the Portland charm. I loved the location and felt it to be very central to everything. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to visit Portland and would stay here again.
