Southeast is a fun area of Portland; I'd highly recommend it. There is a great little bar and Cafe just about kitty corner to his place. And there are loads of food carts and other bars/restaurants nearby. I walked to most of them even though I had a car.
The room is very private and secluded from the rest of the house. I had to work from home so I appreciated the desk, the wifi, and the privacy. Christopher just left me alone the whole time, which I also liked. If I needed something, I'm certain he would have been attentive. There isn't a ton of airflow in the room, but that might have been the reason that it kept very cool (it was summertime and scorching outside). The bathroom is really small. It didn't bother me though. Comfortable bed and pillows. Lots of cool little things like coffee and a small fridge with a brita.
All in all, I enjoyed my choice. Cheers.
