The back garden is a welcome retreat after a busy day. It has more than one sitting location, including one under an evergreen tree that can be enjoyed even during a typical light Portland rain. Location is convenient (my destination was an event at the Crystal Ballroom), and the walk down Marshall Street to the tram was exquisitely lovely in May. I found the neighborhood and the house quiet and the amenities quite ample (small toiletries in bathroom, hair dryer, quiet mini fridge). It's third floor, so hot water will take a little while to arrive. Host is genial and welcoming. Can't speak to both beds, only used one: the foam mattress seemed new, perhaps a bit on the firmer side; slept well.
If staying in winter, there's a little fireplace heater in front of the futon couch for ambiance.
