Aaron was available when we needed him, familiarizing us around the place when we arrived. He lives above, but there was minimal noise. We had our own parking spot and a courtyard area to drink coffee at in the morning. The place was clean and the kitchen had what we needed. The location is also very convenient to points of interest throughout Portland. The second sofa/bed in the living room was comfortable- and large enough for our long legged teenage son. There were games and plenty of information on what to do in Portland. We recommend this location for your Portland vacation.
