Loren's place was so cozy and cool that my friend and I literally had a hard time motivating to leave and explore Portland. It's got cozy spaces, blankets, a bookshelf full of incredibly interesting titles, an adorable record player with a small tasteful collection of LPs to play, and even a couple treats by the fridge. We felt like we were on a retreat weekend rather than the "out on the town" trip we had planned on. The location is super quiet but within easy biking distance to all PDX has to offer. If you do want to stay home and relax, there's a Trader Joe's within walking distance to stock up on snacks. Oh, and the shower has great water pressure too! Everything surpassed expectations. I am positive we'll come back to Loren's place just to have more time with their books and lovely furniture. Hope to meet the hosts next time!
