This was a beautiful house with all the amenities of home. There's a lovely covered patio area in the yard that would be quiet and pleasant in warmer months. The area is residential in an okay part of Portland (not the best part or the worst part), but we felt safe staying there and parking our car on the street. We were within 5-10 blocks to a few restaurants/cafes that we could walk to if we wanted. There's also public transportation stations nearby. We rented a car to get around Portland and areas nearby (such as the Oregon coast and Colombia River Gorge waterfalls).
A helpful handbook was provided that answered all my questions well before our stay. Netflix was available for guests to use, as well as wifi. We didn't need to contact the host during our stay, but anytime I did reach out prior to or after our visit, they were quick to respond.
