AJ was a wonderful host!
My family of 4 (including tweens) took a last-minute trip into PDX, and couldn't have asked for a better location. The neighborhood was quiet during the day, with minimal noise from the nighttime crowds that frequent the nearby restaurants and pubs. A few steps around the corner were lots of drink and dining options and local shops. It was perfect for what we needed, which was a relaxed visit with a little bit of everything at close reach.
The home was clean, well appointed, and I was really impressed with how pristine the floors and surfaces all were. Speaking of floors- they were also wonderfully creaky, and the entire house had little bits of charm and character. My kids appreciated the Keurig machine, and we used the cups and silverware provided for our light snacks. There's a tiny home village behind the house, but we wouldn't have even known it was there-- it was so quiet and I don't think I saw anyone go in or out the entire time we were there.
Overall, this made for a smooth and wonderful visit to the City of Roses!
