This place is great for the family or couple looking to pretend they are Portland residents. The house is located in a safe, quiet neighborhood and has a lot of classic charm, including that of the family who lives there when the property is not rented out to visitors. If it bothers you to see family photos or full cupboards and closets, then this isn't the location for you. However, I hope this place works for you because the host was kind and easy to communicate with, the rate was very reasonable, and the house/location is lovely with a central location to explore various parts of Portland or get on the freeway down the Columbia River or to Salem and Eugene.
