I recently took my first trip to Portland from Boston and Stephen's place was the perfect place to stay. After several cancelled flights I was exhausted upon arrival and the apartment was warm, inviting and just what I needed. Stephen came right down when I arrived and showed me around as well as offered advice on where to visit and places to go to eat. I hit the bed early the first night and it was so comfortable and I slept great. I woke up the next morning ready to explore and was able to easily walk to more shops and restaurants than I could handle all within minutes of the house. The next day I took a 5 minute Uber ride over to the West Side of town and everything it had to offer. One of the things I enjoyed the most was the gas fireplace in the living room. It was so nice to curl up next to at night after exploring all day. I didn't turn the TV on once the whole time as I was thoroughly entertained without it. When I was planning my trip I was concerned about safety as I was traveling alone, but I felt very at ease staying in this home and once I arrived, I did not think about it at all. I would recommend anyone coming to Portland to consider this home as their place to stay :)
