Michael's place is only about 10 minutes from the airport, on a quiet residential street. If you're looking for basic accommodations to lay your head for a night, as an alternative to the high-priced and noisy airport chain hotels, Michael's place would be an option. Michael graciously accommodated my request to check in early, as I had to return a rental car before my flight out of PDX and when his plans to meet me at the house for check-in changed at the last minute, he provided a simple back-up plan to enable me to still get into the house and get settled in.
