An absolute dream. Anthony is a kind, down to earth, and engaged host — solicitous in the best way, and always ready with an important tip. (Like, for example, that the marathon is in town so watch out for traffic and parking issues!) The location of the house is ideal: Trader Joe’s within earshot, and the beautiful Reed College area allows runners, walkers, and cyclists an opportunity to get out and about for a few miles with minimal danger from cars. The house itself is comfy, clean, and spacious, with every amenity from shower, through fridge, to stove, in perfect working order. I only wish I could give ten stars!
