We enjoyed our stay at Tiffany's place. The location is terrific with decent restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The Whole Foods store was perfect for when you want to eat in. The Laurel Hurst Park which is just a short walk is a must see. It's very pleasant and makes for an enjoyable walk. This was our first trip to Portland and for those of you who are doing the same thing I'd recommend a city tour and a tour of the Columbia River Gorge. Both are provided by Grayline Bus Tours. Tiffany's place is very handy to bus routes downtown and it beats driving. We parked our car nearby and never used it until we left.
Tiffany was very responsive to our needs. Shortly after booking she sent us a message making sure we understood that there were stairs involved in accessing the accommodations. Since we are 69 y.o. I thought that was quite thoughtful of her. The stairs were manageable although a bit awkward for a couple of seniors. When we got in it was evening and the accommodations were a bit chilly. Tiffany was out of town, but when we contacted her she had Matt turn up the heat to a comfortable level. We also had difficulty using the tv as it was hooked up to a Wii and I had no experience with that system. Matt explained how it works. The one down side regarding the tv is that there is no cable and as a result no connection to any network or cable programming.
The furnishings are just as shown in the pictures. They're not the most comfortable but very doable. The bed, however, was very comfortable. Tiffany is in the process of redoing her backyard so its a work in progress, but we still sat out at the table near the pond and enjoyed some amazing weather.
