Paul's place is absolutely wonderful, exactly as unique and comfortable as it seems. It's perfectly located, surrounded by so many interesting coffee shops, restaurants, and activities (the fully equipped kitchen is great, but I really didn't have to use it much when there's so many things to try so nearby). Fantastic view, super comfortable bed, perfectly set up for working remotely, so many fascinating books and art pieces around the place. Parking is not included, but Paul went out of his way to work out a great deal with me get that set up. And he really went above and beyond in making feel welcome upon arrival, with plenty of snacks and coffee waiting for me (he even left a pastry from a nearby bakery for my first morning's breakfast while I got settled in, and a bottle of wine as a nice welcome gift).
I spent six weeks here and loved every minute of it. I really started to feel like it was my own home after a while, and it actually feels a little weird to have to leave it now. For anyone visiting Portland for the first time, this is the place to be.
