Both Dave and Silke were very prompt in answering my questions about my trip and also about checking in. I was able to text Dave the morning of to update him with our schedule. My group got in Friday night and were able to play all the instruments until 10pm (quiet hours). We love the whole setup of the basement! The couches, disco ball, projector screen, and the kitchenette were very handy. Saturday morning Silke came by to welcome us and to ask us if we had any questions/needed any suggestions about places to visit in Portland. She's very friendly and also very welcoming. They have a helpful handmade notebook with places to visit in Portland which was so cute! During our stay, the basement was very warm (it was 37 degrees outside) and we had everything that we needed. We also met Dave as we were leaving their place and he made sure that we had a great experience. Overall, we had a great experience at their house and would definitely recommend this location to others.
