Amy and Bob's place is great and they are wonderful hosts. Amy was very responsive to messages leading up to our trip. They were home to show us around the place when we arrived, but also gave us our privacy. Its clear that they enjoy having guests around and also that they are animal lovers, which is great when traveling with a pet! We also appreciated that even though they have a cat, she was kept upstairs. My fiance didn't have any trouble with his allergies. The apartment itself is very nice, and was decorated for the holidays which I loved! The location is great. The neighborhood feels very safe, there is a lot within walking distance and we also easily called Lyft and Uber to go out at night. There is an off leash dog park around the corner and the Reed College campus is really nice for a walk or morning run. One thing to keep in mind - if you expect to be able to cook, it is a kitchenette, so there is no stove/oven. There is a toaster oven, Keurig and kettle and they were nice enough to provide some light breakfast things like oatmeal and cereal. Honestly, there is so much good food in Portland that this really wasn't an issue. Overall, Amy and Bob's place is great!
