Loved staying at Erik's place. Unlike many other options in Portland in this price range, this was a separate detached building (not a basement). The place was very clean and comfortable for our stay (2 adults and 2 kids), and full of special touches such as glass art and furniture by local artists (the place doubles as gallery space). The location is superb - a short walk to many restaurants on Division or Hawthorne (we loved Yataimura Maru so much, we went there twice , and they have a good value happy hour menu after 9pm).
Check-in process was easy - we arrived late and got ourselves in with the entry/lock code. We had no problem finding street parking a few houses away.
I highly recommend Erik's place, and we hope to return!
