Michael and Diane are excellent hosts; respectful, kind, generous, interesting, and fun! They made me feel welcomed and always asked if there was anything else I needed. They provided breakfast and coffee/tea for the 5 weeks I was there which was wonderful! The basement room is a spacious, private space. I was very comfortable and enjoyed my time relaxing after work and on days off. Beautiful, clean, private bathroom and laundry room was so convenient. Everything you need is there! I thoroughly enjoyed talking with them, being in their company at times when I used their kitchen to cook. My dog, Frankie, loved spending time with them too! The neighborhood is beautiful and safe. A great area to walk my dog any time of the day or night. I am thankful for their kindness and caring that they showed me and Frankie while we were there. I felt like I was staying with family and I loved their dog, Amadeus, and friend's dog, Carmen, who would come visit. Lovely people and lovely, clean, cozy home. If I'm ever in Portland again, I will be staying with them!
