My boyfriend and I can STRONGLY recommend staying at Tom and Reba's house. The location couldn't be better if you're into good food, walking distance to great restaurants on Hawthorne and Division. Your hosts will also happily help you out with whatever you need in terms of recommendations and things to do or see (but only if you want to). If we don't move to Portland thanks to folk like Tom and Reba, we'll definitely make sure to check in on them again.
