Derek's house is AWESOME! So very "Portland" if you know what I mean. It was cozy and comfortable and had everything we needed. My friends and I spent a week at Derek's and he was very responsive to any questions or requests that we had. The location was PERFECT. We could get everywhere easily. Close to shops and restaurants on Alberta and Mississippi and easy access to the highway. The house is very spacious and has the best natural sunlight you could every imagine! We had to force ourselves to get out of the house some days as we felt very much at home at his place. Definitely a great stay an we hope to come back here when we come back to Portland soon! Oh and the bathroom is to die for...very large, designed impeccability and a fantastic shower head!
