Kowkie was a great host: very friendly and accommodating. The house is a typical older/smaller Portland house, but is kept clean and is just the right size for a family of 3-4 (or maybe two couples). The backyard has an amazing garden and hot tub, along with an outdoor table. The neighborhood was quiet, and is within walking distance of a number of bus stops to get around Portland, as well as walking distance to a number of shops/restaurants on Freemont St. including Fire On the Mountain, my favorite place for wings and beer!
Overall we had a great stay and would consider it for the next time we're in town.
