This is a lovely accommodation in the heart of Portland, close to everything in the downtown area. The rooms are just as pictured, and the building is a treat for those like me who love older houses. I loved the high ceilings and antique/old-fashioned furnishings.

The keyless entry avoided the need to coordinate schedules for getting in. I did see Patti and Jerry a couple of times during my stay, and they were very welcoming. Patti gave me a couple of recommendations for stores and restaurants nearby. Since I was mainly out during their business hours, I did not feel awkward about sharing the building with their office.

Yes, there is noise. Besides the beer garden out the back window, the Powers That Be apparently consider 11:00 p.m. to be a fine time for projects involving jackhammers and chainsaws. However, the earplugs that Patti provided took care of all that; the brand is the most comfortable I've ever used. I did not have any problems with sleeping (on the very comfortable bed) because of noise. If you're looking for a peaceful weekend in the country, you' re not coming to downtown Portland.

I enjoyed my stay, will look for it again if I come back to Portland (likely), and would recommend it to others.
