One of the nicest places we've ever stayed - weather AirBNB or 4-star hotel. Seriously! Tom has done a beautiful job renovating the basement - if it weren't for walking down stairs upon entry and the window placement, it wouldn't even feel like a basement. The place was immaculately cleaned upon our arrival, and Tom came down to say hello shortly after we got in as well. This is also in the best location - a short block from Mississippi Ave which has enough places to go to a different spot for 3 meals for 3-5 days and never leave the neighborhood! There are also 2 or 3 bus options in easy walking distance to get anywhere else in town, and the Portland TriMet is incredibly easy to navigate. If I had to complain about anything, it would be taking a shower in the lovely claw foot tub gets you very close to the ceiling, especially when you're 6'1"...but us taller folks are used to short shower heads anyway, so I'm not docking any stars for it, it is a nice tub & bathroom.
WHEN (not if) we come back to Portland, we'll be staying at Tom's place for sure!
