My family had a wonderful time living like a local in Laurelhurst! Ed was a very gracious host. Our grandchildren, ages 1 and almost 3 loved playing in the backyard. Ed even brought out a big truck to ride-what a hero! The apartment was clean and spacious, so much better than staying in a hotel with small children. Great bathtub...We prepared a wonderful meal and played games one night to relax..the rest of the time we explored Portland restaurants and local spots. One of the best vacations we've ever had! If you want to be comfortable and not restricted like in a hotel, live like a local in Laurelhurst!
