Tom is a super friendly and helpful host, just as others have attested here. Communication was great prior and during the stay. The bed was very comfortable. The hot tub is a huge plus! Unfortunately I was only here for 1 night so couldn't check out the neighborhood as much as I would have liked, but there seem to be good eats and drinks nearby on foot. Everything is as described, but it's worth noting that the quarters you'd be staying in (albeit through a separate entrance) are beneath the main house where Tom and his family reside. It didn't seem to bother most Airbnb guests, but as a light sleeper, my sleep was disturbed a bit. But as I said, I am pretty sensitive to noise. If you're not like me, you'll find this room a lovely place to call home while in Portland.m
