Keith was a perfect host. The apartment he rents is immaculate, well decorated, fully equipped (dishes, cutlery, books, TV with Netflix, good internet, porch) and has an incredible great view overlooking the hill, and an assortment of evergreen and bamboo trees. The area around his house is decorated with Asian influences, and modern sculptures. The back yard area is filled with different types of birds flying by, particularly a lot of Blue Jays, and pieces of art. The place is quiet, dark at night, easy to fall asleep. The neighborhood is located at the top of a small hill a bit south of the OHSU campus, but it is too far to walk if you are going to the school. The roads leading up to his house are small, curvy, and fun to drive on. There are shops nearby for groceries, and restaurants within a mile or so (Chart house is nearby which has an amazing view of the downtown area and the river; the food is good but not incredible). There is forest within walking distance that is perfect for short hikes in the morning. Keith stocked the refrigerator with some fruit, some yogurt, some soft drinks, a few beers, and a nice bottle of wine. He met us once or twice in the mornings and suggested places to visit, restaurants to go to. We drove one morning to the nearest beach which is Canon beach about 90 minutes west; the interstate road is lined with trees; the beach is a bit touristy but is in good taste, and worth the trip to see the Haystack rocks. Overall we highly recommend staying at Keith’s apartment and would return if we visit again.
