Bruce lives in a lovely house in a very peaceful area. Even though the restaurants are a 3 minutes walk. We rented the King and the Twin, which were both excellent. Very comfy beds and room enough for our luggage. Bruce was very welcoming and a wonderful host. We loved talking to him and to the other guests so we got to know a lot more about living in the USA. We talked so much that we didn't get to see the city center of Portland but maybe we can visit Portland another time. We strongly recommend staying at Bruce's craftsman house because it is welcoming and comfortable.You make coffee any time you want, you can take pastries and fruit and you can relax on the frontporch and talk with the other guests or Bruce. Definitely a great place to stay!
