Gabe's house was ideal for our group of 6 people. Very spacious and in a nice part of town. As Portland is so spread out there's no one good location to be in. There were plenty of nearby bars and restaurants and it was also a 13 minute walk from the MAX to/from the airport.
The house itself was very big and had a balcony. As there was just one bathroom between 6, showers in the morning required a bit of planning but this certainly didn't take away from our trip.
