Impossible to have a better experience in downtown Portland for multiple people. 4 bedrooms with comfortable beds, spacious open-plan living and dining area, all with lovely furnishings and rugs. Large full kitchen with comfortable breakfast table. Dishwasher, washing machine, iron, hairdryer, we used them all. There is only one bath upstairs for the three bedrooms, but there are two sinks and plenty of storage which allows it to be shared relatively smoothly by multiple people. (We were 5: parents, a 5 year old, and grandparents, and it was just right for us: we were planning a 6th in the downstairs bedroom and it would still have been fine). The bunks are upstairs and the 4th bedroom with a full bed is downstairs. Public transportation could not be more accessible: we also used both available parking spaces (be aware they are tight. Our minivan did fit, but if you have a choice rent a smaller car.)
What made it special was Saadi and Suzanne's care and extra touches. After a long flight from the East Coast we arrived to coffee, teas, sugar (and alternates), herbs and salt for cooking, fruit, croissants, other comforts too numerous to detail. Our time in Portland was a stress-filled one because we were there for work, and then instead were hit by a freak snow and ice storm that kept us nearly housebound. There were movies, books, and games which kept our son entertained despite his cabin fever -- if a house can be comfortable in that, you know it can be comfortable in anything. Our hosts were wonderful in the face of our changing travel circumstances (dictated by the weather), incredibly available as they live next door, but never intrusive. Just unbelievably kind and thoughtful people, who own a terrific property, and make it up as beautifully as a hotel would be and as comfortable as a home would be. It is a bit like a hotel in that you arrive and everything is absolutely pristine and thought of for your comfort: a bit like a home in that it is a house and you live in it like one, with total privacy; and a bit like the monasteries I have stayed in, in that your hosts are immediately available, incredibly generous and hospitable in the true sense of the word (and practiced in the art) but leave you completely alone until you ask for something. An immense pleasure and highly recommended.
