Gregory’s house was well suited for our family gathering. There were eight (8) of us, 4 adults and 3 teenaged kids and the sleeping and living arrangements were fine. The kids took over the basement and all adults had their own bedrooms. The beds were comfortable and we worked it out with the 2 baths.
The neighborhood had much to offer, Food Trucks, restaurants and an excellent coffee shop, “Speedboat” we’re within a block of the house. The house has a large backyard. Although it is not landscaped, it had a large table where we could enjoy our morning coffe and we had several meals. The downside is, Portland has huge issue with the homeless and there encampments. Unfortunately, a group has pitched their tents across the street from this property. We had no direct problems with them. There was increased traffic on the street with some derelict cars parked nearby. There were some disputes among the homeless, mostly shouting obscenities but, they minded their own business and it was quiet at night.
We selected this property because of the proximity to Willamette National Cemetery, the focus of our visit, and the size of the house worked well for our family.
