Ed and Kym did a beautiful job renovating their basement. Modern kitchen area and modern bathroom (heated floors, nice). We got to meet them and they are very nice people. They also had guidebooks and personal recommendations on things to do, places to eat, and other activities in Portland. You can tell they go the extra mile to be great hosts.
It is in a residential area of SE Portland, but we still walked to some places. Belmont Station is just steps away and has a good food truck. Laurelhurst Park is close. We walked to Hawthorne and it wasn't too far.
I highly recommend this place.
