Everything was just as described, and the place did not disappoint! I was in town for a conference, and it was nice to come back after a long day to a homey feel instead of a mundane hotel room. The price is right, and I'd highly recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a low-key place to stay. It was indeed quiet during quiet time, and I was never bothered by what was going on upstairs. There are plenty of resources for those interested in learning about ways to explore Portland---more than a dozen brochures, maps, lists of local eats, etc., and even notes from former guests identifying their favorite spots!
Best of all, Jeff is quick to respond, friendly, and accommodating. He was happy to let me drop my bags before check in time, which I greatly appreciated. I enjoyed an all-around great stay, and I'm sure anyone reading this would too. Thanks, Jeff!
