This location is a great jumping off point for exploring East Portland. The local neighborhood is lovely and quirky, and very walking friendly. You can see all kinds of fun examples of local architecture, starting with the host house which is immediately next to the guest house. The interior of the guest house is smallish but brilliantly laid out and very comfortable for a family of three or perhaps four. having everything right there at hand to take care of your daily needs -- cooking, cleaning, laundry, reading, television if you need it -- is really great for folks who are looking to just get out and see the city. Plus on top of all of that, the yard is relaxing and quiet. finally, being able to access the yard gate and the door with electronic codes was nice--one can just get up and go without worrying if they have the keys. Don't miss this if you can help it.
