Hal’s place was exactly as advertised...very clean and close to several excellent restaurants, a lovely park and an easy drive to all Portland area locations. Hal’s a very thoughtful host. We met him as we arrived and he carried my wife’s (heavy!) suitcase up the stairs and pointed out the various treats they supplied us with including a bottle of wine and bread and cheese. We come to Portland several times a year and definitely hope to stay at Hal’s every time!
