Our experience at Brendon's place was "outstanding"!!! The accommodations were as advertised. The studio was bright and cheery and very inviting. A great use of space and we never felt uncomfortable at any time. The neighborhood was also very nice and had easy access to the fantastic Portland mass transit system (TriMet). There were plenty of things to explore locally including restaurants, shops, parks, etc. On top of all that, Brendon was a wealth of information about all things Portland! Just tell him your interests and he could provide numerous suggestions to help you enjoy your stay.
