Gary's place is NE of downtown just west of the Mississippi neighborhood. Quirky transitional hipster heaven like one would expect in Portland.
The guest house is accessible through the wonderfully eclectic and cool garden space. Sorta like a Phish hippy-light secret garden...with a working hottub perfect for two.
Inside it obviously benefits from Gary's meticulous attention. If there's anything to keep in mind it's the stairs to the bedroom...but again great detail as there are small motion sensitive lights that keep the stairs lit when you are on them.
Gary's was great, had, for us, the perfect balance of host (attentive and communicating) while clearly trying to give us space.
10/10 this will be our go to for any stays in Portland where it's just the two of us.
