1234 House is a great place to stay if you’re looking for the real Portland experience. Evan goes out of his way to make sure you feel welcome, including recommending restaurants and bands to see in town, but also by making the place feel friendly enough to hang out with fellow visitors for the night. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the cozy sunroom was a nice place to spend evenings. The house is an artist’s haven, with each room painted by a different artist, instruments in the living room, and Evan’s own handiwork in transforming it into what it is today on display by the stairs. The location is great, with a range of restaurants and shops just up and down the street and easy access to public transit to get to other parts of the city. I highly recommend staying at 1234 House on your next trip to Portland!
