Tom and Reba are wonderful hosts. Very welcoming and accessible, but also very respectful of our privacy. Tom is indeed a wealth of knowledge about local eats and attractions. Also gave us great tips for our drive to the coast that made a huge difference in our beach experience there. Fresh pot of coffee every morning in the upstairs kitchen, along with engaging morning conversation, was a big plus and a cool way to start the day.

The house is located in a GREAT section of Portland. Hawthorne and Division Street are very close by and offer anything you'd ever want in terms of affordable restaurants and bars, vintage clothing, and several delish coffee shops. My fave was Coava, which features hand brewed, weird and wonderful coffee bean varieties plus comfy couch and a fireplace. Could have spent hours there every morning! And the breakfast sandwich trucks on Hawthorne are NOT to be missed.

The accommodations were also first-rate. The lower level, where our bedroom was located, is a newly renovated space, so everything is mint, clean, beautiful, functional and cozy. The shared bathroom was particularly well-done, with a frameless glass shower enclosure shower featuring a river pebble basin floor.

As Tom's description notes, there is an adjacent bedroom in the space you're renting. Another couple was staying in that bedroom, but we had more than enough privacy when needed.

I would unhesitatingly recommend Tom and Reba's home for your next stay in Portland!
