Greg and his space were great! Exactly as described in the listing. There was a healthy amount of communication from Greg leading up to our arrival in Portland, which assured us that our host wanted us to feel welcome.

The neighborhood in which the space inhabits is conveniently located to access any of the four major quadrants that make up Portland. There is a bicycle shop right up the street, which we rented bikes from on our first day in town - a really great way of getting to know a new city/town!

The people of Portland made an incredibly positive impression on us! 99% of people we met were friendly, accommodating and genuine. They were quick to offer their best recommendations on restaurants, breweries, dispensaries, food trucks, bars, hikes, parks, etc. It was a breath of fresh air to partake in a community that places so much value on an active outdoor lifestyle.
