Brad and Becca's home was wonderful! They welcomed us in right when we arrived and gave a quick orientation, but unfortunately we didn't get to meet them more than that. We loved the homemade map/directory of Portland - it was a huge help in planning our day in the city and we wouldn't have known about some of the neighborhoods to explore without it. I was a bit worried about the animals (though it was clear in advance) since I am not a cat person, but the apartment was extremely clean and both the cat and dog stayed out of our hair.
