5-stars all around. Visited PDX from NYC - Had an incredibly comfortable stay at Blaine & Taylor's. Super clean, private, and quiet basement apt. with everything you need - speedy wifi, tv, kitchen, and even our own washer/dryer.
Absolutely loved the charming, rustic neighborhood of Hawthorne. Yummy local restaurants and quirky coffee shops were within a 5-10mins walk from the house. Neighborhood itself is conveniently located - everything we wanted to see in Portland was within a 15-20min drive from Hawthorne.
Blaine & Taylor were super hosts indeed - I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thanks guys!
