Elliot was very responsive and provided excellent neighborhood tips. We were walking distance from several places that were on our Portland list anyway, like Aviv and Virtuous Pie, and enjoyed exploring the neighborhood. The house is spacious and great for groups with lots of areas to hang out, though there is one bathroom on the level with all the bedrooms (other bath is downstairs). We loved the peaceful upstairs library area in the mornings. The kitchen is fully equipped, downstairs living room is cozy and even a lovely dining room. Would definitely recommend if you'd like to play house in Portland for a few days! :)
