My son and I just stayed with Brad and Meg for the third time! They are amazing hosts -- super responsive, kind, and accommodating. The place is beautiful. There are full windows that you can open to let in a nice breeze, plus a number of smaller windows that ensure the place is bright and cheery. Even in the heat of the summer, the fact that the place is garden level means it's cool and comfortable. The location is superb. It is so easy to hop on I-5 and get to anywhere you want to go. It's 12 minutes to downtown PDX (20 minutes at the height of rush hour). You can get to very cool North and Eastside neighborhoods (Alberta Arts, N Mississippi, N Williams) in 10 minutes or less without using the interstate. One more thing to mention -- the bedroom is very cozy, and if you need to use the pull-out couch, it's also really, really comfortable. It's new and comfortably firm and very quick to set up. Enjoy!
