Ed and his wife were fantastic hosts! Their place was excellent, so comfy and cozy. I immediately felt right at home and I stayed for 2 months so I was really able to check out Portland in all aspects. You have hiking right out the door, access to the famous PSU farmer's market, kayaking just down the way, and a huge array of places to eat all within range. I threw in the bike as Portland is known for it's cycling scene and I did some incredible rides right from the door. Kitchen was outfitted perfectly and wifi was excellent. I had an absolute blast and will miss picking the raspberries off the bush on my way into the door!
