Amazing home in an amazing neighborhood. Robert was a great host, providing a warm guided tour to his house when we arrived -- making us feel like family visiting. We enjoyed spending time enjoying the quiet neighborhood with lots of trees while sitting out on the front deck. The house has enormous character, with great artwork. In the evening we enjoyed the private charm of the backyard patio. The proximity to Irvington Park allowed our 4 year olds to ride their bike to the park. As you'd expect from a lived-in home, all the utensils we needed for cooking was on hand and great quality. We hope to stay again on our next visit to Portland! (A note about kids: if our boys were three it might have been a challenging house with quite a few beautiful but breakable items within reach, but at four they were able to respect the items we told them not to touch)
