I recently traveled with a number of friends and we spent a night at Steve's flat. I usually travel with my family but this time around I was organizing a bunch of friends coming into Portland for another friend's event. The location worked out great...the Belmont and Hawthorne neighborhoods were easily walkable and we had great access to many restaurants and coffee shops. There was plenty of space and everyone was comfortable and it felt like home. The communication was great and check in was very smooth. Traveling with friends can sometimes be harder to organize but Steve and the co-hosts were very accommodating and pleasant to communicate with.
