Greg was a great host. He greeted me (enthusiastically!) upon my (early) arrival, but also has a keypad entry set-up to allow for guests to arrive when he is not there. (Better yet, there is no key to get lose!) The room is bright and airy and the bed was very comfortable. (I slept better than in my Sheraton in Seattle!) There is a desk, with a guide to the area and plenty of information on Portland. The private bath was clean and had everything you'd need. The entire house is peaceful and quiet. The neighborhood is about a 30-40 min walk from downtown but it's an easy and pretty walk. I didn't use the bus at all, but that is available close by. There are also some great place to eat and drink right in the neighborhood. Try the People's Pig for BBQ and Secret Society for cocktails.
