Derek was a great host and his cozy home made us feel like we lived in Portland. Beautiful wood and quite spacious! When we arrived Portland was being hit by a fluke snowstorm. Derek made sure the steps were cleared and sanded. He warned us that the city might shut down as they weren’t used to snow - and he was right. Luckily we were able to walk just a few blocks in the snow to have dinner at the Victoria. Derek was very flexible with check in/out. We would absolutely love to stay again the next time we are in Portland.
