The space is private and on the side of the house above the their actual living space. Keyless entry is always a plus. Even though we did not get to meet Deborah and Ludgar the 3 night stay was very pleasant. Restaurants and bars only a few blocks away. We actually enjoyed the outskirts of the city rather than the city of Portland. Side street parking was easy and available everyday. We stumbled on this places called Fried Egg I'm in love for breakfast one morning before our hike. It's a food truck on 3207 SE Hawthorne Blvd in Portland, not to far from the house. It was probably our favorite food spot we had in our whole 10 day trip in Portland/Seattle. Thanks again!
