This is a very spacious unit in a beautifully pleasant neighborhood just south of Reed College. It is about a half-mile walk to the MAX (the Portland metro train), and just over a mile to a commercial area (Sellwood) with shops, restaurants, pubs, movie theatre, gym, etc. Michael and Diane were great hosts and had everything I needed for my stay (including washer/dryer, toaster oven, microwave, clean bathroom, comfy bed, and lots of artifacts from their many travels adorning the walls). There isn't a kitchen in the basement unit, but access to their kitchen on the first floor was offered (although I didn't end up needing it). I was here for the month of November and it was a great place to call home while I scoped out Portland as a potential home. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a centrally located place from which to explore Portland.
