My husband and I had a wonderful six week stay at Derek's rental. The space is compact yet so thoughtfully laid out that it feels quite spacious. There is plenty of storage throughout the house, a large closet in the bedroom and plenty of kitchen space which was so nice. The kitchen was well stocked and the appliances brand new. Derek even had a growler in the kitchen which we were able to fill at the amazing grocery store just 2 blocks down called Zupans, which is another reason this rental is so fantastic. It's so conveniently located walking distance to all the great cafes and restos on Belmont. Just a few blocks away in every direction are all the other trendy eateries and boutiques on Hawthorne, Division and Burnside. You couldn't ask for a better location. Derek was extremely responsive from the beginning and even showed me the place before we moved in when I happened to be in town. He was always prompt to answer with any questions we had. Added luxuries of this rental include the most comfortable bed ever, in-house washer/dryer, free cable, fast wifi and a strong & efficient central heating system that kept us cozy in the winter months. I should also note that the neighbors on both sides were extremely quiet so there was little to no noise on most days. The private front deck was a fantastic addition where you can enjoy coffee in the morning or take conference calls as I often did. We simply couldn't have asked for more. My only regret is that we weren't able to stay longer. I would rent this place again in a heart beat.
