My friends and I were visiting Portland for the first time and could not have asked for a better place than this! The house is beautiful and was spacious enough for us to have our own rooms, and the balcony and backyard garden were absolutely perfect places to relax after adventuring around Portland. Mary was always quick to respond if we had any questions, and was very accommodating of our flight schedules -- she let my friends stay a little over check-out time before getting their flights back home. If you are looking for a place near to many local bars, popular restaurants and (of course) Blue Star Donuts and Salt and Straw, this place is only a few blocks away from all of those and more!
