Want the privilege of staying in a 100+ yo home which has been beautifully restored, remodeled, maintained, and decorated to keep the "antique" atmosphere, but, at the same time to be fully modernized and functional? Then look no further as Ian's and Malika's place "Heaven in the City" is your answer. They both are very creative and have a very good "eye" for interior decorating. Besides providing a great place to stay, they themselves are accommodating, helpful, and sincere in their dealings with you. They even allowed me to send supplement refills to their place so that I wouldn't have to pay postage. I did have some problems with two small electrical appliances, but it was never a problem as I reverted back to cooking techniques done in this historic home previously. But the appliances have been replaced, so now future guests will have all new small and large appliances. Having no car and with waking problems, I found public transportation close by and was able to be creative to get to anywhere I wanted to go. My enjoyable stay in Portland was due in part to my gracious hosts and their lovely home, and to the sights, foods, and experiences I had while in Portland.
