My husband and I made a difficult decision to leave the Bay Area because the fire smoke was too much for us take. We decided to head to Portland and we're so glad we ended up at Brian and Fiona's place. The neighborhood was great--we went on daily walks and enjoyed exploring. Peninsula Park Rose Garden is particularly nice and only an 8 min walk from the house. I like to walk and found the walks to Mississippi Street and the Alberta neighborhood pleasant, but if you don't want to walk they're just a short drive away. The house was perfect for the two of us. It was easy to be inside and having come from a place where we couldn't open our windows we loved the cross breeze upstairs in the living room with all of the windows open. We made dinner several nights even in the small kitchen, and the chilled pint glasses were a nice touch. All in all a great stay!
