This is an iconic Portland experience! This house is what Portland in known for-respect of old architecture and modern unique artistic touches. The house has CHARACTER between it's aged floors, colorful palates, and the owner's sculptures. You are very close to a swanky part of town with SE Hawthorne offering fun shops and easy access to the grocery store. Really appreciate the quick response of Hobi and Todji with questions and requests. House was great for our visiting family ranging from 1-67, and all our sleeping needs. Note all bedrooms are upstairs (which wasn't a problem but may disuade others). As stated in other reviews you are located directly off a busy 4 lane street, but the backyard offers a nice respite to the busy front porch.
