I stayed with Franz and Teresa for the better part of 10 weeks. They make lovely hosts! The description of the accommodations was accurate. The room itself was tidy with a nice big bed and plenty of storage space. The common areas (shared bath, kitchen, etc) were pleasantly comfortable, and I was afforded plenty of space in the fridge with access to all cooking tools, pots and pans.

My hosts were very considerate and personable and treated me as a member of the household. They allowed me uninterrupted time to work, and were equally happy to share a bottle of wine on the patio while chatting about the things of life.

The location couldn't be better - the house is situated with easy access to two interstates, the airport, several lovely public parks, including a path along the Columbia River, and multiple shopping options. If you don't feel like getting out, the neighborhood is quaint, with plenty of sidewalks for an evening stroll. I thoroughly enjoyed all the beautiful flowers that seemed to thrive in most of the neighborhood yards. And true to Portland, excellent coffee options are available within a mile or so in either direction.

Franz and Teresa have a little lap dog that is quite defensive of his owners - he lets them know when a stranger is around! A little time spent giving him attention will make you a lifetime friend. He is absolutely adorable!
