Michele and Paul were wonderfully communicative and caring hosts.

They were able to accommodate our unexpected early arrival. Paul walked us through the check in and showed us were everything was and how it worked. Even though we were there only two full days, Michele checked in with us to see if we needed anything or had any questions.

As new hosts they have one or two things to work out (kitchen cabinets won't stay closed), but nothing that took away the enjoyment of the quietness and peacefulness of the micro house and the neighborhood itself.

Street parking was easy to find closeby and with no restrictions it was a welcomed break from those we experience back home. Grocery stores are nearby. (The small refrigerator in the unit is very roomy and held a good amount of items. Breakfast was easy to make in the unit and the pans and utensils were perfect for the job.) Restaurants are a block or two easy walking distance away in a mostly flat area.

I would suggest they add to the listing to bring slippers as the floor is cement slab and is quite cold in the morning. Also, to add a padded mat in front of the kitchen area. It's hard on the knees and back standing on cement for very long.

During the day the A/C is wonderful and easily controlled with a handheld remote. The Murphy bed is very comfortable. If you like to awake in a darkened room, this place is not for you. Quality shades cover the windows, but the daylight comes through somewhat (I liked that part). They encourage recycling in the kitchen. Yay!

The micro house is secluded in their backyard behind a private wooden fence with easy access up through a shared driveway. Motion security lights light the way.

We very much enjoyed our stay and will keep them in mind for whenever we return to Portland.

Thank you Michele and Paul!
