My family felt very welcomed by the hosts, and the place was clean and interestingly decorated. It was the perfect location for our visit, being close to family, and the neighborhood was very walkable. It was comfortable, well supplied and easy to enter by the very private side door. It is located in the basement of the house, so there was occasional foot traffic noise above, as would be expected... never was annoying, but did exist for anyone demanding absolute quiet. We would not hesitate to stay here next time we visit Portland.
