The view of Portland is truly spectacular from Norm's place. It was my absolute favorite part of staying there. I left all windows and doors open so I could feel surrounded by nature. I was in Portland for dental surgery so this was my spot of recovery, I didn't do much while there. Prime Now delivers as well as many other restaurants so if you need a "stay-cation" it is also very convenient. I enjoyed many days laying on the beautiful deck surrounded by nature and took a walk along the river that is very close by. Norm was a great host as well. He got a blender set up for me before arrival since I would be on a liquid diet and responded very quickly to any need or question I had while staying. It was very peaceful and has all that you need. Restaurants and grocery stores are in walking distance too.
