Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful stay.

For Portland visitors, the Turret house cannot be beat. The lovely neighborhood had plenty of bars, restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. Whole Foods and a gourmet grocery store were mere minutes away, as were all of the amenities of downtown Portland.
The Turret house is huge! Three of us shared the upstairs flat, which had two big bedrooms, one bath, a big kitchen, dining room, living room and working fireplace (LOVED that!).
The downstairs area is currently being renovated and there were workers in the unit daily. This really didn't bother us, although we didn't use the outdoor areas or garden because a lot of their tools and supplies were lying around.
The upstairs unit is bright, immaculate, well-kept and full of thoughtful touches: a guestbook, novels to read, lovely soft towels, a frozen pizza in the fridge (thanks!), coffee, shampoo... all the essentials you would ever need. The beds and couches are soooo comfortable... we all slept far better than expected.
Most of all, Alex is a prompt, courteous and responsible host. We couldn't have had a better experience.
