Greg and Jen, and their apt, are an utter delight. I heartedly recommend the apt to others. Because I was there in Feb, my two favorite things were the fireplace (open to both the living room and bedroom) and the heat lamps in the bathroom! On my next visit (definitely to be when the weather is warmer), I hope to enjoy the spacious deck in the front of the house with its cute orange chairs. (The chairs served as my landmark when I returned to the apt at night!)
Greg and Jen couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. In addition to the basic foods they provided, they also left for me in the fridge a large jar of frozen strawberries and raspberries they had grown themselves. I enjoyed the berries for breakfast each morning topped with the raw, organic honey also provided for their guests. Delicious!
The apt was extremely comfortable, very clean and fully furnished with all the amenities and extras (such as linens, blankets, umbrellas, kitchenwares) one could want. The bed was divine; I slept so well there! Greg and Jen were very accessible but not at all intrusive even though they lived next door. In fact, I didn't actually meet them until my last day in Portland. Nonetheless, they responded immediately to my couple requests. For ex, when I asked if they happened to have a mat for the shower, they purchased one for me that very day.
I didn’t use the public transportation because I had family in town with a car. However, I did walk to nearby Division Street a couple times with its many shops and restaurants. We also had dinner there one night at a great mussel restaurant.
My visit to Portland was truly enhanced by my stay at Greg's and Jen's lovely apt. It's a real gem that shouldn't be missed!
