My husband and I had never been to Portland and got very lucky with this rental. The space itself is gorgeous and clean, with lots of reclaimed wood, concrete and tile. The many custom windows really do make the bedroom loft feel like a treehouse.
The location of the house is nearly ideal, especially for those on foot. Numerous opportunities for food, drink and shopping seem to be within a mile or so in all directions. In addition, while the house is located in the back of Tom's property, it faces the street and feels completely private.

Lastly, Tom was a great host. He was easy to communicate with, super accommodating and gave us some great recommendations about where to go and what to do. If you don't check out his guidebook, you're doing yourself a disservice. We had a great time staying here and would love to do it again sometime!
